Agreed 

Doesn't change the fact that a loss to Michigan is bad

I'm eager for someone to explain how ASU jumps Boise, when they're 5 spots apart and both won their CCGs. 
If it happens, becuase “spots” and “winning CCGs” are both somewhat soft inputs, and because the whole committee process is pretty vibes based and lacks continuity.

IF we end up with:

Clemson at Texas - Probably a 10+ point spread.

Tenn at Ohio State - Maybe a 5 point spread.

Indiana at ND - Maybe 8 point spread.

Alabama at PSU - Maybe 6 point spread.

Oh man I'd love to see Indiana play, and beat, the domers.  How much fun would that be???

There will always be controversy in who is left out.  They make a decision and that's that.
Mystery solved!

Any ordering will generate controversy, we all knew that, and perhaps it will be enough to redo things after next season.

I don't count Michigan as a bad loss for OSU. Michigan has a 7-5 record and it's the biggest rivalry game in the land.

NIU has a 7-5 record in the MAC. That's a bad loss.
When a 10-1 team loses to a conference foe at 6-5.....that's always a bad loss.

Pretty close to my "ranking".  No Bama.

SMU is 11-2 vs the 60th-hardest schedule.
Alabama is 9-3 vs the 16th-hardest schedule.

The outcomes matter AND the who the outcomes are against matters.

First round games?

Indiana at Penn State (winner plays Georgia)
Alabama(90%)/SMU(10%) at Texas (winner plays Boise St)
Tennessee at Ohio St (winner plays Oregon)
Clemson at ND (winner plays Arizona St)

Bama also lost to Vandy and should have lost to USCe at home and got blown out by OU.  I would leave them out.  Playing a tough slate is one thing, losing to two near pastries is not good in my view.

Had ND beaten NIU, they'd probably be ranked #1 and only at 5 in the playoff.  Maybe Oregon would top them.

Listing the bad and ignoring the good is 1-sided.  Be 2-sided.

SMU did not beat a ranked team. 

Of course, IU didn't either, but they only one loss - on the road.
