A one loss conference champion has never been snubbed in favor of a one-loss team that failed to win their conference in the CFB Playoff era. The teams that have gotten in who didn’t win their conference like 2016 Ohio State and 2017 Bama got in over two loss teams. In your scenario, Oregon will make the CFB Playoff along with Bama, Clemson, and Wisconsin. Plus it will take care of the headache of choosing between LSU and Georgia along with the other one-loss teams like OU and Ohio State.

If this were true, it would be a compelling reason for elite SEC teams not named Bama to look for weaker conferences to join. It may be true, but it isn’t right, and it isn’t good for college football.
