There are a bunch of Old Articles regarding it this is just 1. You can Google them.
Just Saban putting Okie St 4 didn’t do it, but it was really close. If he had put them 3rd like everyone else I. The country put them 2nd or 3rd and Gundy had a vote to put themselves 2nd. The difference as it was was 0.0086 points.
This is a main reason the CFP decided to take it out of the coaches hands.

while true that's very deceiving. It's only happened once, last year. And in that instance, the team that lost was a clear unanimous #1 for pretty much the entire season. In order ot drop them from 1 to 5, it would require a lot of other great teams filling the 2-4 spots. The only other team last year that we were competing against for a playoff spot would be a 1-loss Notre Dame, but we had a much better resume than them. If Notre Dame, or even OSu, had better resumes last year then we don't make the playoffs.
