The committee left out FSU when they didn't have a quarterback. Can they leave out Ole Miss for not having a coach?
I was 100% thinking about this. Whatever team gets Ole Miss in the CFP gets a team that will be in complete disarray. Not only because of the coaches leaving but isn’t there also a portal window opening up soon ? Some of these players will be forced to transfer or else lose the opportunity.

The committee has a week and a half to decide.

I'm guessing OM is out.

It is also interesting because Ole Miss' schedule was remarkably weak. 

They went 1-1 against SEC teams that finished with a non-losing league record, Ole Miss' SEC games:
  • 7-1 UGA, lost 43-35 on the road.
  • 6-2 Oklahoma, won 34-26 on the road 
  • 3-5 LSU, won 24-19 at home 
  • 2-6 Kentucky won 30-23 on the road
  • 2-6 Florida, won 30-24 at home
  • 1-7 MissSt, won 38-19 on the road 
  • 1-7 South Carolina, won 30-14 at home
  • 0-8 Arkansas, won 41-35 at home 

Then there is their OOC. Three of the four are indisputably weak: GaSt, WSU, Citadel. The fourth is . . . Intersting. Ole Miss beat Tulane 45-10 and the Green Wave are ranked #24 and a potential playoff team as they are playing North Texas on Friday for the AAC Championship.

Let's not pretend when they scheduled Tulane that OM thought they were getting a decent resume entry.

Oh I know but . . .

Should we evaluate based on what they tried to do or how ot actually played out?

Same for Ohio State, should we evaluate based on scheduling Texas or this year's Texas.

What if Ole Miss had played Penn State? That is a lot more ambitious scheduling but in actual performance this year . . .

Idk, a 9-2 G5 team isn't actually a big threat, they just wind up ranked because the alternative would be for voters to (gasp) rank 7-5 big-boy teams.

How about on the flip side? 

Did OSU and Oklahoma gain anything by beating Texas and Michigan in the beginning of the season? 

Or would they be in the exact same boat, had they beaten North Texas and Central Michigan?

I agree with you 100% but that said, Tulane is still a LOT more legit than GaS, Citadel, and WSU.

The sooners gained some respect.   
Ohio st. Could be ranked #2 behind the Hoosiers had they beaten central Michigan

What was the Big Ten's channel for the worse conference game?  For the SEC, it was Jefferson Pilot.  I can't remember what it was before that.  It's where Kentucky would play Miss State.  Pre-streaming services. 

Anyway, that's what the ACCCG reminds me of - one of those games.

It is funny and you have a point but on the other hand, I can make a srong case that the ACCCG has more CFP impact than the SECCG and the B1GCG combined.
