And penn st beat Ohio st, won the conference, but didn't get in.
Bottom line is there is no criteria, and nothing that weighs differently or is stated that matters and takes precedence. The committee is basically picking the 4 best teams and have no basis for how they will do that.
They could get around a ton of this by stating two or three things that they think matter. If being 1 loss matters more than playing a better schedule and being a 2 loss team, or winning the conference and having a head to head as a 2 loss team over a 1 loss, then state that. I would bet Oklahoma is in above Washington if they didn't schedule BOTH Ohio st and Houston.

Your example is nothing like FSU. PSU lost two games, one by 40 points. Osu lost only one game, that was a easy decision for them... FSU and Louisville had the same record, explain why FSU gets the nod after losing by 40+ to Louisville
