If the committee's task is ranking the 4 best teams, they failed.  FSU w/o Travis is hot garbage.

1 - Georgia
2 - Michigan
3 - Warshington
4 - FSU
5 - Oregon
6 - OSU
7 - Texas
8 - Alabama
.
Texas and Alabama can earn their way over OSU and probably the Oregon-UW loser, especially Bama.
I can't fathom anyone suggesting FSU is "better" now than 1-loss, XII champ Texas or a 1-loss SEC champ Bama.

Whoever the 1 seed winds up being, they'd love the layup FSU would provide.
And Georgia can lose in Atlanta and still be in the playoff.
Another meaningless game.

Ohio State will obviously fall relative to all of the teams that play an extra game (and win).

Nothing surprising here but if the committee didn't put Texas ahead of Oregon this week then I don't think they will next week, if both teams win.

So Texas' only chance to get in is an FSU loss (possible), or a Michigan loss (lol).

Wow. Doesn’t really make sense to me. Not that I’m jumping up and down for Texas to get into the 4 team playoff.

And normally I’d be way down on any Big 12 team trying to make the cut. Beating UH and Baylor isn’t much of a resume. But this team took down Bama, at their House. It’s almost like they’re ignoring that game. Admittedly, Bama has dropped a notch or two these last few years, but they’re still 11-1.

Well, that guy IS a tool, but I don't think even he hates Texas as much as the selection committee.  It is what it is.

Just ranking teams by number of losses.  8 year olds, dude.

There will always be a controversy about who is selected last, and next year, probably next to last, and then the order (as 5th will be tougher than 4th).

I don't think they take injuries into account, just performance to date.  So, yeah, undefeated P5 teams will always be ahead of one losers, always, with perhaps a very unusual exception.  I was thinking about Ohio State a bit, playing on the road basically even with the #2 team in the country, and how they'd get dinged down to 6-7-8 for it.

A better way would be to let Vegas do this, but that can't happen.
