I see Sagarin is still spitting out rankings that make no sense.

TCU goes 12-0 against what Sagarin rates as the 21 SOS and is ranked 7th.

Ohio St goes 11-1 against what he rates as the 44 SOS and is ranked 2nd.

Sure.

It's process vs outcomes.

OSU blows people out.  Until last week, TCU didn't.  
It's about looking at more than the score.
How dare he.

UGA "should" win over LSU, even though they are looking rather mortal.  Michigan should win rather easily.  TCU has a solid chance to win, but might not.  That makes three, then USC, IF ...

USC is looking rather solid I think, they might jump TCU.  For a four team playoff, that is two real blue bloods, one sort of next tier team, and a long shot team, so it has everything if that happens to get ratings.

I mean win in the CG above.

Of course about this time mayhem strikes.

I can't really see any scenario where USC jumps TCU if TCU is undefeated conference champs. 

TCU has to play Kansas State- a team they've already beaten. Hard to beat a team twice in the same season.

USC has to play Utah- a team they lost to. The only team they lost to actually. Have to like USC's chances to get vengeance- 'cause it's damn hard to beat a team twice in the same season.

the scenario is if the Network honks want the first round matchups to align for maximum ratings

Teams usually win the rematch also, in history, when they occur.  Basically it's tough to beat a very good opponent, once or twice, it makes little difference.

I "think" USC might go to 3.  They have more impressive wins I think and an avenged loss.

and here we see the stupidity of the Big 12 having a CCG when they play a round robin

if no CCG TCU is in the playoffs if TCU doesnt win they are out

Yeah, USC isn't going to "jump" TCU in the sense that they would edge out a 13-0 undefeated B12 conference champ and knock them out of the CFP, but if both USC and TCU get into the CFP, then the Trojans could certainly jump them in the standings in order for ESPN to arrange their preferred matchups for TV ratings in the semifinals.

Assuming TCU or USC loses the powers that be will stick Alabama 10-2 in the top 4.  And it won't be at #4 if Georgia is still #1.

the benefit is if TCU needed another "good" win to get in the #4 spot

this season they don't

if clemson and USC were undefeated or if Bama had only one loss, TCU would benefit from the CCG
