This year the answer was pretty simple: only lose once, and you're in.
If there had been more or fewer than 4 no or one loss teams, then all the other stuff would come into play: strength of schedule, conference championships, etc - all that matters.
But at the end of the day the first thing you look at (winning percentage) is not unsurprisingly the most important.
I really think that what the committee is saying is that it's ok to schedule cupcakes, but if you do, you have to be perfect (no losses) or lucky (one loss with 4 or fewer one/no loss teams).
I think if any other P5 team only had one loss, UW would have been out, and it would have been because of their scheduling.

the reasoning can't change every year though. It has to be objective and non-biased (numerical) toward the "blue bloods. Figure out which criteria matter and then weigh them accordingly. That way it's not a guessing game for everyone.
That's funny... it didn't seem to matter for CU.

what do we learn from this? #septemberlivesmatter #septembergamesmatter I guess not.
They used to do this. It was called the BCS and at least a vocal minority hated that as well. They called for more of an "eyeball test" that they computers couldn't account for. Interestingly, the old BCS model would have picked these same 4 teams (switching OSU and Clemson). I am not sure what the answer is, but it seems like there isn't one that everyone will like.

Gives me the creeps having someone getting screwed and Pedo St in the same thought.

Yes, I remember thinking the same thing, where are you coming from, then he admitted they don't have a playoff worthy team in the B12, he just wanted to know what to tell his conference. What are the rules?
