Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith, who previously served on the selection committee in 2017 and 2018, said he hopes conference championships will be weighed heavily in this year’s selection process, while he also believes the eye test – where the Buckeyes should stand out with all their talent – will come into play more than usual this year.

“I think it’s assumed, by the committee and others, that we may not have consistency in the number of games that a particular league will play,” Smith said Wednesday. “I think that they understand that and that they will develop criteria that will pay attention, I would assume, to first and foremost championships, and then overall win-loss record, and I think this year may be a little bit more of trying to identify which team, frankly, has the best look about it, so to speak. I hate to say that, but I think that that’s going to be something that’s going to have to enter into it.”

I'm saying that the number of "quality wins" (i.e. wins over ranked teams) will be much more important that just the total number of wins, etc. in the CFP selection process.

SEC fans immediately pointed to 11 games vs 9 games. Of course, they ignore that LSU and Alabama's "+2" are as cupcakey as possible.

Their +2 are, IMHO, bad risks. They amount to little more than organized practice against not-your-own-guys, and in doing so increase the likelihood of having someone outside their current bubble cause an outbreak. I wish that there were more B1G games this year, but under the conditions of timing and consideration for the non-zero probability health risk of playing teams without resources for daily or highly frequent testing, I don't see it being a smart move.

My $0.02.

Speaking of zero probability events, let's discuss the odds of a COVID test coming back positive on a starting SEC football player.
