Ok. It's about making money, not being fair.

UC will be left out for any number of 1 loss major conference champions.

No one cares about or tunes into watch UC but an insignificant number of UC fans. Deal with it.

This scenario would make me chuckle.

Undefeated UGA
Undefeated OU
1-loss Bama only loss to UGA in SEC CG
1-loss Ohio State with wins against PSU, TTUN, MSU, & Iowa
1-loss Oregon with win over Ohio State
Undefeated UC
Undefeated BYU
Undefeated Wake Forest

Does the committe go with

UGA
OU
UC
Wake Forest

LULZ

I agree with this in the broader context of regular season/championship week games, but people will tune in to watch a Cinderella story in the playoff, and the CFP selection committee may be willing to throw a G5 team a bone this year to keep Congress from poking around, especially knowing The Alliance is going to torpedo current expansion proposals.

No way Bama gets left out unless uga Cardale's them.

My guess would be
UGA
OU
Bama (avoid the rematch)
Juggalos (avoids the osu/uo controversy)

These hypotheticals include some things that are unlikely, I'm sure you'll all admit. But none of it is as unlikely as an undefeated Sooner squad.

The Oklahoma Juggernaut rolled over Western Carolina 76-0, sure.

Apart from that they:
  • Beat Tulane by 5
  • Beat Corn by 7, but would have lost if Corn had an average high-school level kicker
  • Beat the Couch Burners by 3
  • Beat KSU by 6

Is this the 2nd coming of the 2002 Buckeyes, or is this a team that is not long for the ranks of the unbeaten?

Yes, they still play in the Little XII, but this is a team that is even more in need of improvement than the Buckeyes. They have shown vulnerability on both sides of the ball.

Crap schedule or no, I have serious doubts about the Sooners' ability to navigate it unscathed.

EDIT: And to bring this back around to the thread-topic... UC also might not navigate their schdule unscathed, but I like their chances better than the Land Thieves' chances.

2002 Buckeyes were one of the best defensive teams that I've ever seen. 2021 Sooners suck at defense, and now they don't have that shootout offense either. If Bijan gets off, I'm pretty sure that Tejas is going to take them out on Saturday.

Oh goody. Surly Horns plus a victory over OU; just what the internet needed.

OU is not that good this year. But IDK if they'll lose. The Texas mirage probably comes unglued this week. They beat down a bad Texas Tech team and held on to beat a meh-bad TCU team. Color me unimpressed. OU will probably squeak by again. The rest of the Big 12 is so bad collectively this year that I dont doubt that they run the table with a bunch of under 10 point victories.

If OU has a 90% chance to win each of their final 7 games, there is a 47.8% chance that they win them all. I don't think they have a 90% chance in all of those games. I'm not sure I would put it at 90% in any of them.

I don't think TCU, Kansas or Texas Tech are beating them

that leaves

Texas - Ill believe it when I see it
Baylor (road) - meh, maybe but likely? probably not
Iowa State (home)- same as baylor
Okie State (road) - probably the best shot, maybe? They are 5-0 but probably the least impressive undefeated team left.
