  • Utah State upsets 1 loss San Diego State
  • WKU upsets 1 loss UTSA
  • Kent beats Northern Illinois

one loss teams are in, 2 loss teams have no say
Then just schedule the 4 worst OOC teams you can find.  
This is what you're saying here.

This is easy - if everyone at the top loses, then nothing changes.

Even if that doomsday mayhem scenario happened, OSU would still be out. 

Georgia would be the 1, then Notre Dame at 2. After that Bama and Michigan would be the first 2-loss teams off of the table. This scenario really only needs 1-4 and 6 in order to come to fruition. This would be the bracket no matter what happened in the other games.

I was mocking Nubbz
he stated 2 loss teams have no say
he's not wrong and the committee might just go by number of losses

You have Cincy in as a 1 loss champ over the Iowa Hawkeyes?

Cincinnati might be the champions of life, but they're not champions of much else.

They already won their division, so they are at least the champion of that. 

Still have a shot at a conference title, and possibly a National Title as well. 

They could also finish as the top team in their own state. Some might say they've already clinched it, but it is too early to call in my opinion. Still a lot of FB to be played.

There also logically could be a LITTLE mayhem, I think it starts with UGA winning to knock Bama out.  Then Baylor and Houston win, not much of a stretch really.  Michigan wins and gets the 2 seed and I think ND moves to 3.  Even in this scenario #4 is unclear.  OSU is at 7 in the two polls out.  Baylor is at 9.

There's no scenario that gets OSU in. Unless you are talking about OSU2. If so then you got their poll positions mixed up.

2018 recruiting rankings:
1 - Georgia
2 - Ohio St
3 - Texas
4 - USC

So no, no one is suggesting we go by recruiting rankings or that the games don't count.  But some of you are taking strength of schedule and completely chucking it out the window and I find it bizarre.
