If Georgia, OSU or Michigan, FSU, OU and Washington all finish undefeated

FSU would have the weakest argument.

the one that's currently ranked last among them

Oklahoma probably has the weakest schedule
Texas is the only good team they play
PAC is pretty stacked so I think Washington would get in over OU

That’s why the refs had a hand in (3) games with playoff implications.

Not Georgia.
Probably not Washington if they win out.
Would depend a lot on the quality of opponent in the B1G, B12, and ACC championship games.

I have an interesting but unlikely scenario,
Ole Miss wins out and goes 11-1. Bama wins out and goes 11-1 but loses to 11-1 Georgia in the SECCG.
So the top of the SEC looks like this :
Georgia 12-1 SEC Champion and qualifies for Playoff
Bama 11-2 SECw Champion but no Playoff appearance
Ole Miss 11-1 with a win over SEC Champion Georgia. Do they not deserve a place in the playoff ?

Not sure any one loss SEC team gets in over other one loss teams with SEC pretty down

Over an undefeated power 5 champ? No
Sec, big, pac, should be in

Why does Oklahoma have a stronger argument than FSU?
The only ranked team they play is Texas and they won in a nailbiter at a neutral site. FSU destroyed LSU in a neutral site and would have proved themselves moreso than OU in the ACC. The Big 12 is the weakest conference.

I would be really surprised if all of those teams finish undefeated.

There’s no chance that an undefeated Michigan or Ohio State would get left out of the playoffs.

We get left out. Only team that looks like they will be ranked at the end of the year is texas.

OU. Big 12 is the weakest conference - only 2 good teams.

all even resumes, conference championship is valued as the differentiator according to the stated criteria.

Oklahoma left out
