re: How I would rank the CFP right now...

Aggies have the better loss.

True in terms of who they lost to, but Clemson lost in 2OT with their star quarterback out. Aggy got blown out by 4 TD.

Anyway, how I see it shaking out in different scenarios. For the sake of argument, let's assume A&M and Ohio State win in each of these scenarios.

Alabama def. Florida; Notre Dame def. Clemson:

1. Alabama
2. Notre Dame
3. Texas A&M
4. Ohio State

Alabama def. Florida; Clemson def. Notre Dame:

1. Alabama
2. Clemson
3. Ohio State
4. Notre Dame

Florida def. Alabama; Notre Dame def. Clemson:

1. Notre Dame
2. Alabama
3. Ohio State
4. Texas A&M

Florida def. Alabama; Clemson def. Notre Dame:

1. Clemson
2. Alabama
3. Notre Dame
4. Ohio State

I think Alabama & Ohio State are locked in. I think A&M is in with a Notre Dame win; I think they are out with a Clemson win.

Now, I think the committee should be rewarding A&M for playing more games but I am assuming they like Ohio State more. If that isn't the case, you could basically swap Ohio State and A&M in the above scenarios (seedings may have to be adjusted - don't think the committee would give us an immediate Clemson/ND rematch or Bama/A&M in the semis).
