I just say don't lose by 4 touchdowns to Purdue and you are in.
This.
If Alabama had lost to Vandy by 28, we wouldn't get in either.
Seriously, there were three undefeateds in P5 (Alabama, Clemson, ND). That left two 1-loss teams. One lost to a ranked, 9 win Texas team that they were able to defeat later on - and only by 3 points. The other lost to FREAKIN' PURDUE by 4 TDs.

I think go back to the BCS format and let the computer pick the top 4. The BCS (after they ironed out the wrinkles) got it right. Use that and get the best 4.
I think the committee has done a good job, but when people are involved there will always be questions about objectivity.

You could always use the transitive property.
Ohio State beat Maryland by 1
Maryland beat t.u. by 5
Ohio State is 6 points better than t.u.
Oklahoma lost to t.u. by 3
Oklahoma beat t.u. by 12
Oklahoma is 9 points better than t.u.

This is not the point. It's not just about 2018. Georgia got boat raced by Auburn (40-17) in November then beat Auburn 28-7 in December.
Georgia was ahead of Alabama in the CFP rankings after beating Auburn. Why? Because they won their conference/Division?
Criteria needs to be set, not on a conveyor line ready to be picked up when you want to use it.
