re: Hypothetical Playoff Scenario

1. Bama
2. Clem's Son
3. Wisconsin
4. LSU

Here's why: Wisconsin would have avenged their lone loss. And is a major conference champ. Both things the Cmte likes.

LSU over Texas for obvious reasons.
LSU over UGA because LSU would have lost a close one at Bama, while UGA would have lost a more recent one to Bama on a neutral field.
LSU over Oregon because PAC12 not as respected as SEC.
LSU over ND because clearly better resume.
LSU over the other 1-loss non-conference-champs (OSU and OU) because better resume and better quality loss.
