Going back to 2014, there have been 14 teams make the playoff with a loss. Most all of those had 3 or 4 wins against Top 25 Opponents in the Final Playoff Rankings.
Here are those teams ranked by the number of Quality Wins...
WINS VS. FINAL TOP 10 OPPONENTS:
3- 2016 Ohio St.** (#6 Mich, #7 Okla, #8 Wisc)
2- 2015 Mich St. (#5 Iowa, #7 Ohio St.)
2- 2014 Oregon (#8 Mich St., #10 Arizona)
2- 2017 Clemson (#7 Auburn, #10 Miami)
1- 2017 Oklahoma (#5 Ohio St.)
1- 2017 Georgia (#7 Georgia)
1- 2014 Alabama (#7 Miss St.)
1- 2014 Ohio St. (#8 Michigan St.)
1- 2016 Washington (#10 Colorado)
0- 2016 Clemson; 2015 Oklahoma; 2018 Oklahoma; 2015 Alabama; 2017 Alabama**
**2016 Ohio State and 2017 Alabama were the only ones on the list without a Conference Championship
WINS AGAINST TOP 15 OPPONENTS:
4- 2015 Michigan St. (#5 Iowa, #7 Ohio St., #14 Mich, #15 Ore)
3- 2017 Oklahoma (#5 Ohio St., #15 TCU, #15 TCU)
3- 2014 Oregon (#8 Mich St., #10 Ariz., #14 UCLA)
3- 2016 Ohio St.** (#6 Mich, #7 Okla, #8 Wisc)
3- 2016 Clemson (#11 FSU; #13 Lou, #14 Auburn)
2- 2017 Clemson (#7 Auburn; #10 Miami)
2- 2017 Georgia (#7 Auburn, #14 Notre Dame)
1- 2014 Alabama (#7 Miss. St.)
1- 2015 Oklahoma (#11 TCU)
1- 2018 Oklahoma (#15 Texas)
0- 2015 Alabama; 2017 Alabama**
**2016 Ohio State and 2017 Alabama were the only ones on the list without a Conference Championship
WINS AGAINST TOP 25 OPPONENTS:
4- 2015 Michigan St. (#5 Iowa, #7 Ohio St., #14 Mich, #15 Ore)
4- 2017 Oklahoma (#5 Ohio St., #15 TCU, #15 TCU, #19 OK St.)
4- 2014 Oregon (#8 Mich St., #10 Ariz., #14 UCLA, #22 Utah)
4- 2016 Clemson (#11 FSU; #13 Lou, #14 Auburn, #22 VT)
4- 2014 Alabama (#7 Miss St., #16 MIZ, #19 Auburn, #23 LSU)
4- 2015 Oklahoma (#11 TCU, #16 OK St., #17 Bay, #23 Tenn)
3- 2016 Ohio St.** (#6 Mich, #7 Okla, #8 Wisc)
3- 2017 Georgia (#7 Auburn, #14 Notre Dame, #23 Miss St.)
3- 2016 Washington (#10 Col, #18 Stan, #19 Utah)
3- 2014 Ohio St. (#8 Mich St., #18 Wis, #25 Minn)
3- 2018 Oklahoma (#15 Tex, #16 WVU, #24 ISU0
3- 2015 Alabama (#19 UF, #20 LSU, #23 Tenn)
2- 2017 Alabama (#17 LSU, #23 Miss St.)
So here are the rules of the Playoff Committee:
1. You must win your Conference unless you are Alabama or Ohio State
2. You must beat a Top 15 team unless you are Alabama
3. You must beat at least three Top 25 teams unless you are Alabama
Here we come to the end of the year, and Alabama is looking at being 11-1 without a Conference Championship. If they win out, they'll have zero wins against Top 15 opponents yet again. Unlike 2017, they'll likely have 1 Top 25 win vs. 2 that year.
Anyone who thinks they'll get left out again at 11-1 is fooling themselves.

Now do how many times we won the championship despite your views of our undeserving spot in the CFP. And if you're feeling extra spiffy, explain the implications that has occurred due to this egregious phenomenon.

got damn why do people continue this retarded take? OSU went in in 16 becuase the team they were competing with had 2 losses. Ditto for '17 alabama.

2. You must beat a Top 15 team unless you are Alabama
ohio state in '17 had 2 losses including the most pitiful loss of the year. Bama went by default
quote:

Where is the "don't lose 2 games" clause?
I did something similar weeks ago here: LINK (on 3 different boards actually) but apparnetly people still can't get it through their thick skulls how the committee actually operates. I can't fricking wait until after CCG weekend so the stupidity will end.

These discussions are silly when you leave out who the other competition was for the final spot. This year, if things hold, it will be two different 12-1 conference champions. In 2017 it was a 2-loss conference champion with a 30 point loss to a 5 loss team.
It's not the same.
WG Dawg has presented the case as perfectly as can be presented about 100 times.

No, the ones fooling themselves are the dullards that keep spouting a "bama bias" and not acutally lookign at the common sense reality of why they went. I'll bet you any frickign thing you want; money, ban-bet, seppuku bet, you name the stakes, that bama is not making the playoffs this year UNLESS multiple P5 champs have multiple losses. Since that's literally the only time a non-champ has ever made the playoff.

A bullshite "analysis" because every single year is different.
The only thing that matters each season is comparing #4 vs #5 (and also possible #6).
Those resumes are going to vary each year. Sometimes #4 will look great, other timed they'll have some warts. It depends on what happened that year.
There's always an argument to be had but the #4 team each year was generally agreed upon by a consensus. The two years there were the most argument the #4 seed won the whole thing.

Ranking them by horrible losses is more like what the committee does and has universal acceptance. For instance you gotta wonder about a team that manages to lose by multiple scores at home to a pitiful rival school next door down on their luck and just waiting til the hammer drops on their staff. Even though that loser appears to have improved and has been blessed with great injury luck (selectors don't like placing a team who is just a shell of what they were) they just edged a 3 loss school on the road who beat them down physically til they seemingly quit in the 4th quarter.
First three selections are without doubt strong dogs but after that you got a school that has had 1,000 year injury issues and and may very well get beat again plus one or two that are just at times....dogs. However a couple can still prove themselves.
