A 12-1 P5 champ isn't necessarily crap. You can say "but they haven't beaten anyone!" and I'll agree with you but you can say that about clemson just abotu every year. Clemson will likely go into the playoffs 13-0 with their best win beinggg..who? A texas a&m team that will finish with at least 5 losses? But they're still a lock to be in, that's just how it goes.

Ga, LSU, Ohio St would all have far better resumes and all would be ranked above Oregon by the committee.

we would all have better wins but I think you're ignoring how important the committee values conference titles. It's a really big deal.

They have shown that conf champ <<< resume in their previous selections

they've shown that conference champs aren't the definitive, end all be all, and there is wiggle room under certain circumstances most notably OSU in 2017 since they had 2 losses. This would be a situation with 1 loss teams across the board (no 2-loss outliers), where a conf champ is massive.

Ask Penn St

the penn state in 2016 that had TWO LOSSES including one to a 5-loss pitt team? The one that was passed by a ONE LOSS ohio state with 4 high quality wins? There's nothing to ask them. Once again..if you have 2 losses you are virutally assured of not makign teh playoffs even with a conf title. It would take a VEYR RARE circumstance to do that ala auburn in 2017.
