[QUOTE="ChiefIllini, post: 1434034, member: 588522"] This is just wrong. How does it "work"? OSU and OU are both one loss teams, the only difference is really OSU has a "bad" loss on their resume. They also have a much better win than OU does (scUM). Sure this year had 3 undefeated P5 teams, but thats happened exactly once since the CFP inception, so your reasoning doesn't work unless there happens to be exactly 3 undefeated teams. In theory, there could be 6 (ND and the 5 conference champs), what then? And you even bring up the possibility of putting in a G5 undefeated... "if deserving" is so vague and the CFP committee is already mired in vagueness. I think the committee got it right from a resume standpoint, but I also think OSU and Georgia have almost equal chances of beating Clemson, Bama, and/or ND as OU does. If you're looking to crown the "best" team, record and final score does not always indicate that, nor does SOS (I think UCF would've had a shot with their QB). [/QUOTE]
