re: If 2 SEC teams make the playoff, would the committee try to avoid the rematch?

Ok. And if TCU won out and won the Big 12, they would have one loss to a top 5 team by only 3 points. Why would you put State in over a team like TCU who won their conference and only had one loss to a top 5 team?

TCU and State would have almost identical resumes but TCU would have the conference championship. How would you put in State over them?

Here's where your logic falls apart. Try to keep up, OK?

If TCU wins out, they DO NOT win the Big 12 unless Baylor loses. Baylor would win the conference based on head to head.

So...if you're talking about a Big 12 conference champion, the two options are, we are comparing MSU with their only loss to a a #1, 2, or 3 ranked Alabama, to a TCU, whose loss is to a TWO LOSS Baylor. That loss will end up being NOT to a "top 5" team. Advantage MSU.

Or, we will be comparing a one loss MSU...again, only loss to Bama...to a one loss Baylor, who lost to an unranked West Virginia. Again, advantage MSU.
