Everyone who says that the committee will not take a one loss non-champion over a one loss champion is either completely ignoring, or is simply ignorant of, the mock selection the committee did two months ago, when, using the 2008 season as a model, they took Florida, Oklahoma, Texas, and USC. They all had one loss. They took a one loss non-champion in Texas and left out a one loss B1G champion Penn State...whom they ranked #5. And they left out a 12-0 Utah.
Four pages, and no one has mentioned it. Surprising that more people aren't aware that it happened.
So the committee has pretty much already answered the question...unless you choose to believe that they went to the time and expense to get together and go through that whole process for no good reason. You can talk about politics, TV ratings, Jim Delaney, etc., etc., etc. Or you can just believe what they've already told you.
So yeah, if it comes down to a one loss non-champion Auburn or a one loss champion Kansas State, Auburn's in.

You did not read this thread LINK
As that 2008 year dropped Alabama from what should have been 3rd place all the way to 6th. Further proof the voters will go out of their way to prevent a 2nd SEC team even if it means taking 2 from another conference. Keep in mind the Big 12 had a CCG back then while the PAC and B1G did not. Now the CCG has become the norm and not the exception.

People love to talk about the politics that will come into play.
They are just being naive.
Anyone who thinks there is no chance that the SEC, or any conference, will ever get 2 teams in the playoff is really just plain stupid.
