IMO they should look at who you beat, who you lost to, who you played OOC, and total number of games vs P5. So I would rank the potential playoff teams as:

LSU
Beat #9 Florida by 14, beat #11 Auburn by 3, beat #12 Bama by 5 on the road
No losses
Played a respectable OOC schedule
Play 10 P5 games

Ohio State
Beat #8 Wisconsin by 31, beat #10 Penn State by 12, beat #14 Michigan by 29 on the road, beat #20 Cincinnati by 42
No losses
Played a weak OOC schedule
Play 10 P5 games

Clemson
Beat no one currently ranked, beat the team that beat Georgia by 35 on the road
No losses
Played a decedent OOC schedule
Play 11 P5 games

Georgia
Beat #15 Notre Dame by 6, beat #9 Florida by 7 on a neutral field, beat #11 Auburn by 7 on the road
Lost to a losing record team South Carolina by 3 in 2 OTs
Played a good OOC schedule
Play 11 P5 games if you include Notre Dame

Oklahoma
Beat #7 Baylor by 3 on the road and beat #25 Oklahoma State by 18 on the road
Lost to unranked Kansas State by 7 on the road
Played a respectable OOC schedule
Play 11 P5 games

Baylor
Beat #25 Oklahoma State by 18 on the road
Lost to #6 Oklahoma by 3 and could avenge the loss
Played a SHI OOC schedule
Play 10 P5 games

Utah
Beat no teams that are currently ranked
Lost to #22 USC on the road by 7
Played a weak OOC schedule
Play 10 P5 games
(Why are they even in the conversation?)

The committee is hoping UGA beats LSU and/or Utah loses to prevent any controversy. If UGA loses and Utah beats Oregon, there will be a heated debate as who gets the 4th spot (Utah or OU/Baylor). Probably the most controversy the CFP will have seen.

I will be pissed if Utah gets in over Oklahoma should they both win. OOC Oklahoma was much harder. In conference the B12 was slightly harder. Utah has no good wins while Oklahoma has Baylor. Their losses are to similar teams. It makes zero sense that Utah is currently ranked higher.

The Committee is making sure Ohio State doesn't play LSU or Clemson first. Fields plays right away, a suspended player who got paid is cleared now this. Whomever OSU plays first isn't going to be close to being as talented as LSU or Clemson.

Not likely to happen let's say lsu wins and Baylor beats ou. Baylor is not getting in with their weak schedule. Whos the 4th team?

 

[Chip]

I hope Georgia beats LSU in a close game today.

(assuming Clemson and Ohio State win)

It’s the only way to get the best 4 teams. Ohio State would steamroll Oklahoma or Baylor.

 

[STEVEHOLT]

Considering the first half of the big x12 championship .. can we skip both these teams for the playoff and put in Oregon ?

 

[McNabb2Brominski]

UGA is definitely going to beat LSU. SEC can gain another $6m if UGA wins today; no way the SEC allows that opportunity to slip by.

UGA defense can’t stop LSU.
This is going to be a beat down.
