I just don't think (unbiased) voters will take that into consideration. They're going to put all undefeated teams next to each other and look at the overall competition and margin of victory.

I highly doubt most voters give a pumpkin enough to take the time to look at various metrics side by side like that when they make their selections.

I feel absolutely terrible for Aaron Murray who came back for his senior season a shot at the National Title. Losing both RB's and his top three WR's has absolutely devastated the offense and he's doing his best to make the walk-on's and Freshman RB's as productive as possible.

Win out in the East, play Bama tough and home for an At-Large to the Sugar Bowl if Bama doesn't stumble. Failing that, I guess it's Wisconsin in the Cap One bowl.....

The offense' lack of execution is completely on him - 2 interceptions on his bad decisions and a fumble returned for a touchdown. Those interceptions weren't tipped balls or missed routes by the receivers or anything else -- straight up Murray's fault. I suppose you could blame the OL for the fumble b/c the DLineman got to his backside, but ball security is ball security.
The rest of the blame lies with Georgia's defense for giving up 21 first-half points. Combined with aforementioned fumble returned for a TD - Missouri put up 28 first-half points.
Georgia didn't have any issues running the ball or finding open receivers. Their backs got 160some yards with well over a 5yd average. Their WRs caught plenty of passes and were open.
That game came down to Murray and the Defense; not injuries. He blew it.

Bama, Oregon, FSU, and OSU are the front-runners to make it to the NC game. Missouri, Miami, and Baylor are wildcards, but the first 4 are in good position. For as bad as this OSU team plays at times, they refuse to lose. They seem to play up and down to the competition, but they refuse to be beat. If they take care of business, I think they will be sitting pretty when the time comes.
