Not once vs a non P5 conference champ with an equal or worse record


I love the caveat "equal or worse record". Like I said there have only been 8 year of playoffs that yall have determined this is how it will be every year b/c of the previous 8. Do you think this year is the same as the previous 8? In the previous 8 has a team ever jumped a team that was # 5 from being 9 or 18? Why isn't that a precedent

PSU was left out and OSU got in. PSU was the conference champ. In this thread the guy who has laid out the "precedents" also said he doesn't think UGA gets in if LSU wins out...the only time it happened the conf champ was left out

That's just an easier way to say "if you have 2 losses you generally probably aren't making it in over a team with 1 loss"

well, other than the actual decisiosn the committee has made every year of the playoff's existence...what else should we go by? Feelings and emotions? I think looking at their track record is as good a resource as any when trying to put the puzzle together.

I see no reason to the think the committee will change the way they make selections.

Because PSU had 2 losses...see point #1 up top of this post.

You left out the caveat of there being all other 1-loss P5 champions. We have literally never seen a scenario where an undefeated team has played for and lost their CCG, and still made the playoffs over a P5 chamipon with the same record. Both times a CCG loser has made the playoffs, the next best P5 winner you could replace them with had 2 losses.
