Most think Wisconsin does control their destiny. I can't see a situation where an undefeated B1G champion gets left out.
UW ( Washington) could be considered "more deserving" simply because they would be a conference champion, whereas those others may not be.
It's not too hard of a concept to follow.

Assuming that one loss for both teams is to AU, then he is right. UGA and UA have terrible schedules. Your homerism wont allow you to see that.

He should be benched

Wisconsin controls their own destiny, and also said that a 1-loss Washington would be more deserving than a one-loss Miami, Georgia, or Alabama.

None of those statements are dumb. Wisconsin does control their own destiny. If they go undefeated, they're going to make the CFB Playoff. As for Washington, I believe they're a better team than Miami and a Power 5 conference champion with one loss should get in over a one-loss Bama team that fails to win their own conference. Alabama's resume isn't strong enough to get in the CFB Playoff without winning their conference. Georgia is a little more tricky because they have a very good resume. I would say it would largely depend on the circumstances of their loss. If it's close, they should make it. If it's a blowout, they should be left out.

In terms of difficulty:
Bama SECCG
@Notre Dame
@Auburn
Miss St
Scar
Kentucky
@Georgia Tech
App State
And then a bunch of programs with losing records.

@ 2 OOC Power 5 Opponents (with one of them top 10)
The SECCG
the tougher draw from the west.

How is this not a good schedule?

I agree with him on Wisky. No way an undefeated B1G champ is left out.

Not so much on Udub, but also didn't hear him say that. Uw has a worse SOS than all 3 of the teams mentioned. If he meant a 1 loss conf champ UW over a 1 loss non-conf champ among those 3... maybe, but I'd think the other 3 would still have stronger resumes and likely better losses.

It has nothing to do with being undefeated. It is the best four teams period.

Not a fan of Greg and neither are many of his former teammates but to suggest that Georgia or Alabama wouldn't be in trouble with 1 loss is delusional especially considering how bad the SEC East is. Currently the worst division in Power 5.

If Wisky wins out they're getting in, no shot they leave out the undefeated conference champ from the B1G. What's going to be tricky is if UGA blows out Bama (Bama should be left out in that scenario) or if Bama barely beats UGA (which I think UGA should still make it in that scenario).

eta: I also find it odd that Clemson is ranked above OU right now to the committee. OU has a "better loss" as it stands, but I imagine if they take care of business with TCU this weekend they'll probably jump Clemson.

Georgia playing Notre Dame, Auburn, and Alabama renders that irrelevant.

you realize the season isn't over right? All of those teams can still suffer losses which is going to hurt your strength of schedule. It is like you don't know how the playoff rankings work. Georgia or Alabama may not be one of the 4 best teams in 3 weeks.
