Good thing that is not how they view it in the playoff committee.

Yes, it will be how they view it. No way is the committee going to think LSU got a quality win over a ranked opponent when we beat Auburn, which may finish with a losing record. Likewise, Oklahoma is not going to be credited with a top 25 win because they beat Tennessee. Poll rankings don't mean anything to the committee. They are totally irrelevant. The committee will decide which teams are good and which teams constitute a quality win. They sure as hell won't depend on an irrelevant poll from two or three months earlier to tell them what a quality win is.
