Baylor beats a 6-win team the previous week and jumps 5 spots.  We beat a 6-win team and only move up 1.  Boo-hoo.

The committee is poised to put Utah in as PAC champs, but can easily move OU ahead if they feel like it as XII champs.  Shrewd.

If Georgia beats LSU, the playoff is set.  The only curve ball possible is Clemson losing.

Woo-hoo!  Florida moved ahead of Penn State!  Orange Bowl > Cotton Bowl
If UGA somehow upsets LSU, then the Gators go to the Sugar!  Yum!

Conspiracy theory:  Utah wore OSU-adjacent uniforms in an attempt to subliminally seem better in the committee's minds while they discuss the playoff teams and watch highlights.

My FIL said he looked it was watching OSU on Saturday, after we watched OSU dismantle Michigan earlier. I agreed.

Yup.  I don't really think where they have them placed tonight will ultimately affect anything.  Their "process" is designed so that they can use pretty much any criterion they like to rationalize a move, even if it's nonsense to half of the general college football viewing public. 

My guess is they'll keep them all very close, so they can move them however they like after the CCGs are played with little need to justify anything.
You hit the nail right on the head, Utee.

In fairness to the committee they should be kept close and there really would be justification for any of the three to get in if they win this weekend.  The differences between these three is really razor thin.  If chalk holds in the other games then I couldn’t really criticize the CFP for whatever decision they decide to make between OU/Baylor/Utah.  There isn’t a wrong choice, IMO.

Well, I'd argue that there IS a wrong choice if they picked the B12 CCG loser over the winner, but... ;)

Eh, then why would Arkansas wear uniforms modeled after the Cowboys when they play in JerryWorld?

Arkansas is obviously not in a position where any imagery could afford a slight subconscious benefit  ...

I think the only remaining question is whether UGA can upset LSU.  I can't see Clemson losing to UVA.

LSU is about one TD favorite which means they'd win about 2/3rds of the time.
