Listening to all of the pundits since Tuesday, there is a consensus that the Irish are a lock.

They are.

I think if we see some great games in the conference championships this week, it could change the committee's perception a bit.

It won't

If Bama and UGA play a game like they did in 2012, how do you eliminate either one? They were clearly the best two teams in the country that week, and could be this week as well. The winner of that one had to play the Irish in the national championship game, but the national championship itself was really decided in Atlanta.

No one on those three teams is still playing. The committee won't give 2012 a moment's thought.
