we have a pretty clear history of apples to apples comparisons on how the ocmmittee operates. What's interesting to me is what htey'll do in a scenario we haven't bene presented with yet, namely if LSU loses the SECCG. There is precedent for htis in 2015 when undefeated iowa (top 4 of playoffs) lost to 1-loss MSU in the CCG then MSU went to playoffs and iowa finished 5th, BUT iowa's resume that year isn't close to what LSU's is this season.
Assuming OSU, Clemson, and UGA would be locks in this case, that'd leave you with:
1-loss LSU that lost their ccg
1-loss Pac 12 champ
1-loss Big 12 champ
It'd be really interesting to me what they would do and I honestly have no idea

I think it'd be really hard to put in Oregon/Utah or Baylor/Oklahoma over LSU, who would be 12-1 with 4x as many Top 25 wins and a loss to a Top 4 team.
I just can't see that happening.

Since the committee seems very consistent on the criteria that resumes have to be considered equal or indistinguishable before conference championship "breaks the tie" I would be shocked if they left LSU out in that scenario.
The other new "scenario" could involve Clemson if they lost a game. To my mind, this is also the only somewhat realistic chance a 1 loss Alabama gets in since Alabama's resume would boast a 2nd best win against Clemson's best win (Texas A&M) without the bad loss.
