That's pretty lucky.

Is it though? Both the Kansas St. (lost by 28) and Ohio St. (lost by 31) teams mentioned got crushed in both their losses. The 2011 Oklahoma St. I’ll give you because it was a 3 point loss, but it’s not like the ‘12 Baylor team and ‘17 Iowa team were lucky to beat their teams. The teams they beat weren’t winning those games those two respective days no matter what.

And a good number of NC teams have needed help from other teams to win the NC. The 2014 OSU team got in because Baylor lost to a 7-6 WVU team. 2007 LSU team needed a lot of upsets to get in despite two losses of their own. The 2006 Florida team needed USC to lose to an unranked UCLA team. Bama has quite a few because Bama almost always has 0 to 1 losses by the end of the regular season so are in position to move up almost every time.
