Each team playing nine games in one day would leave most teams pretty thin, I think.

I think that BYU, Coastal Carolina, and Cincinnati would be the bottom three.

I have a different question bouncing around in my head: what separates a 6-0 Ohio State from a 6-0 USC?  Everybody'd got tOSU penciled in as the #4 CFP team, barring strange goings-on in the SEC, but nobody's got USC even under consideration.

The other USC.  The one that is 6-0.

Although, come to think of it, the Cocks would be in the picture if they were 6-0.

Where did they start?  Who have they beaten?

Where they start really isn’t supposed to have any bearing on where the CFP ranks them.  For the most part I think the CFP has done a pretty good job in years past of not being influenced by the other polls.  This year is just bonkers though.

To be honest, a lot of it is, as @OrangeAfroMan and others referenced:
  • Where did they start, and
  • Who have they beaten. 

However there is also a more legitimate answer. USC is 5-0 with the following wins:
  • An extremely close, come from behind, 1 point win over an ASU team that is 1-2.
  • A four point come from behind win over an Arizona team that is 0-5 and just lost 70-7 to ASU.
  • A 16 point win over a .500 Utah team.
  • A 25 point win over 1-2 WSU
  • A five point come from behind win over .500 UCLA.
That doesn't look CFP worthy to me or, apparently, the AP or the committee.

Here is my guess, if they played tomorrow:

  • Oklahoma, I think they might be the most improved team in the country from early season to now.
  • aTm, close
  • Florida
  • Georgia 
  • Indiana
  •  Iowa State 
  •  USC
  • Cincinnati 
  • Coastal Carolina 
  • BYU

I’m not goi through the exercise, but I’d have A&M real low. That team is the epitome of just fine.

I don't know about gifted, but UCLA certainly should have won.
And at least two of USC's other games have been squeakers.
So, tOSU's claim is margin of victory?
To be clear, I think tOSU is a better team than USC.  But both teams have beaten every team on the schedule.  How is it that the CFP Committee doesn't have them in the same set of teams battling it out for the #4 spot?  Texas A&M is #5 with a loss.  USC is #15 with five 2-loss (as of last Tuesday) teams ahead of them.
