One of the first steps is for each member to list their top 6 teams in the country, in no particular order.

Who would you have now. (Obviously could change following todays game and Mondays game)

Alabama
Clemson
Houston
FSU
Ohio State
Michigan

Because I think they are 1 of the top 6 teams in the country.

They obviously were not the well oiled machine last night that they were last January. However, with the personell they have returning I do not think it is an absurd reach to include them in the top 6.

I would actually try not to have an opinion right now if I were a playoff committee member. It's way too early to form anything resembling an accurate assessment of teams but if you do go through that process you can easily bias yourself towards or against a team which is not what you should be doing.

This is looking like the first year a two loss team sneaks into the playoffs.

Yeah. But this thread would not be nearly as entertaining asking everyone to not post their opinions about what their thoughts were following the games so far.

Apparently entertaining may be a stretch anyway...not many opinions being shared.

Alabama = played top P5 opener
Clemson = played top P5 opener
Houston = played top P5 opener
FSU = will play top P5 opener
Ohio State = bullied MAC team
Michigan = bullied MAC team

2 on this list are not like the others.

The playoff committee is a sham to con people into watching more TV. Spoiler: The SEC champion goes to the playoffs.
