Mich, uw, fsu and Bama.

That would be criminal.  Texas beat Bama.  Nuff said.

If only there was some kind of deciding factor for the whole Bama Texas problem. What could there possibly be between these teams that would help us determine which one is better?

I'm making predictions.   Not issuing an opinion.

I predict

Michigan
Washington
Florida State
Texas.

In other words- following precedent and rewarding actual results- and Not creating subjective narratives.

This will be the most controversial decision the committee has ever made, imo.

I am sure you’re right. 

ironically, I feel like this is the easiest year. You have three power, five conference champions, who are undefeated.  They are in whatever order you want to rank them.

then you have two very good one loss conference, champions, and the controversy should be nonexistent since they have a head to head results that you can go to.  Seems easy. 

No factual arguments against it. Only narratives that are subjective

this is what i think happens too.

if bama gets in, it'll be over fsu, not texas. bama has a lot of good things going for it, but undefeated p5 champs is pretty damn strong, even if they have looked like garbage last couple weeks.

I agree with this. I don't see how Alabama should get in ahead of Texas when they lost head-to-head to Texas, and the ACC champion is undefeated.
FSU's defense looked a lot like Michigan's and Iowa's, holding Louisville to 188-yards offense. Rodemaker's return will right the ship, somewhat, and FSU will present a bigger problem for Michigan, than Iowa. That said, Michigan will be the #1 seed, and should be expected to prevail.

One touchdown in the Big Ten Championship Game wasn't the end of the world this year, although it was the end of the game, at the time.
I reviewed the replay a few more times later. Iowa got jobbed on the Deacon Hill forward pass that was ruled a fumble. The Michigan defender hit the ball on the front of the ball, and nevertheless the ball traveled forward, even though Deacon Hill didn't bat it forward after it was hit. It was an incomplete pass.
Whatever happened to clear and convincing evidence required to reverse? The replay showed clear and convincing evidence to not reverse.
The Big Ten needs new replay reviewers. The other time this happened this year resulted in an illicit Minnesota win over Iowa. No one in the stadium in real time, or elsewhere, thought otherwise. It was simply bull$hit, as was this one. Tonight a replay official decided to end a competitive game, prematurely. Why?
