Playoff committee is only charged to select the top 4 teams to the playoffs.
They can still bring in undefeated 4-0 Ohio State if it fits their criteria, especially as it could assist them in avoiding the decision on which one loss team to bring in.
Bring in 4-0 or 5-0 OSU, justifies whatever 5-0 Pac Champion, add undefeated Alabama, and bring in ACC champion.
And to everyone else, they can say they should have gone undefeated playing a P5 conference schedule.
You make my point for me.
All conferences are not equal. Who cares if you are a conference champion if your conference is akin to playing in a junior high league?
It should be the best teams, period. That will never happen in a 4 team format because of the political ramifications.
Yeah, I've been saying that for years, but that last line (Just go undefeated) is alway what the 2 or 4-team playoff proponents always say, especially win discussing UCF, BYU, Cinci, etc.
The 4 team playoff puts schools in the toughest conferences, especially in the toughest divisions, at a great disadvantage, especially since the first criteria for the committee has always been counting losses for P5 schools.
