So...if Clemson loses the CCG, could we get 2 teams (us and Louisville) in the playoff with the same scenario?

Last year, there were four conference champs with zero or one loss: Clemson (0 losses); Alabama (1 loss); Michigan State (1 loss); Oklahoma (1 loss).
If Penn State and Wisconsin win their respective divisions, then the Big Ten champion will have a minimum of two losses. Does the committee really leave out a one-loss Ohio State team in favor of a two-loss Big Ten champion? Especially if that champion is Wisconsin, a team that Ohio State already beat?
And what if Nebraska somehow wins the Big Ten with two losses? Ohio State beat them by 59 points....
I could easily see Ohio State getting in as the #4 seed behind Alabama, ACC champ, and B1G champ.

Just another reminder that night road games fucking suck. That same Iowa team gave up 599 yards of offense to the Pedsters last week.

You know what? Chicken butt.
The committee has to think very seriously about the value of over valuing a conference champ. Didn't work well last year with Sparty and Stanford getting their ass kicked.

Only if we are conference champ. No way the Conf Champ of best conference gets left out.

Yes it is slightly confusing. Hopefully this analogy helps.
Basically we need PSU to lose BEFORE they play with Wisconsin to guarantee us a spot (with a win over B1G West Champs of course).
So imagine a rock paper scissors game.
1. PSU (Paper since they weak as fuck)
2. TSUN (Scissors, since Jim likes to cut the lights out at sleepovers)
3. OSU (Rock, we are the true champs here)
So before the loss to Iowa:
- PSU (Paper) beats OSU (Rock)
- TSUN (Scissors) beats PSU (Paper)
- OSU (Rock) beats TSUN (Scissors) --> assuming we win on Nov 26th
If we beat an undefeated TSUN, OSU gets to go to the championship game over the Pedsters because seriously, a rock would destroy paper in real life.
Now with this loss, if we beat TSUN they will have 2 conference losses and PSU only with 1. So now it looks like this:
- PSU (Paper) beats OSU (Rock)
- TSUN (Scissors rusts and falls apart)
- OSU (Rock) beats TSUN (Scissors) --> assuming we win on Nov 26th
The Pedsters will get the tie breaker over OSU despite NOT BEATING worthwhile but Ohio State, while we will have 4 or 5 wins over teams in the top 15.
Pretty fair huh.

It would ne hilarious if Bama gags in the SEC title game. Not likely but the precious SEC would have no playoff team if that happened.
