I get the OU part but Washington and UCF don't have a snowballs chance in hell of being ahead of Ohio State this Tuesday or the following Sunday if Northwestern goes down.

You know Washington is 9-3, right?

It just feels like even with an OU loss and a win over the mildcats, this shitty committee will give tOSU the bird. I guess we’ll see on selection Sunday.

Besides, I don’t see the fighting Tom Herman’s getting by the sooners twice. I’d gladly be wrong but that loss to the boilermakers looms large...

After reading all the OU drone hot takes on Twitter today, my mind is fully ready to root for mensa come Saturday.

Hope Texas disrespects everything about them and their program on the way to a huge win.

I thoroughly enjoyed the home/away with Texas. Can’t say anywhere near the same about OU. Cocky fucking punks.

GPA.

The size of the loss is an espn talking point in order to influence public opinion and the committee members. They started it by early November last year since they foresaw the possibility of the Bama-tOSu comparison for #4.

They'd rather talk about the size of the loss than the impressive win in The Game this year.

Body of work matters. How often have they talked about the home win over Army in OT?

Remember last year at this exact time in the season, the CFP had unbeaten Wisconsin, with a weak schedule, in the top-4 and ahead of an obviously stronger 1-loss Bama team, who lost on the road against a ranked Auburn team. The factor of having more losses than another power conference team was the only real justification for that ranking. At that point in time, it apparently didnt matter to the committee how impressive Bama had been relative to Wisconsin, or how close the loss was. The only thing that happened afterward to allow Bama to get in was Wisconsin losing vs OSU. So quantity of losses can be a decisive factor for the CFP in rating power conference teams, regardless of how impressive the teams have looked in their games.

Oh goody.....bc Alabama Clemson isn't something we've seen before. Clemson will get obliterated because I have no clue if they're actually good or can just beat crappy ACC teams and TA&M.

Georgia plays ND, wins or maybe they go to OT? Any of this sounding familiar?

Then, yes, we watch Bama play Georgia in a game everyone already saw....

Im actually a bit curious to see Clemson - Bama. MissSt showed a good pass rush can disrupt them... maybe even sideline Tua. Problem was, MissSt has no offense...
With Bosa retiring from CFB, Clemson has the best Dline in the country and can play a little offense.
OU wouldn't even be a speedbump with their D... more like a traffic cone that's heedlessly ran over by a semi.

All losses are equally worthless, I believe, and those two losses (VT and PU) are equally bad IMO, with all things considered. The quantity of losses is what truly makes a difference to the CFP committee. If the committee believes in finding merit in losing, they are doing this process wrong. I believe they will compare quality of wins and quantity of losses.

First bolded part: No, they are not. Now, a 1-point loss to the #1 team gets to the same increase of one in the "L" column as does a 29-point loss to and unranked team, but they are far from "equal" losses.

Second bolded part: No one says there is "merit in losing". But, you have to compare the losses of all teams being racked-and-stacked for playoff positions to see which teams do have "better" losses.

If the committee has OU and OSU with identical records, and both conference champs, it would be stupid to decide based on the 1 loss they each had rather than the quality of the 12 wins. You seem to think the one loss is more important than the wins. I think for this committee, when losses are equal, they have to look at who has the best wins and decide based on that factor.

While counting losses is a factor to separate power conference teams with fewer losses from the pack, your resume ultimately is your achievements, it is how your wins stack up to other teams. Losing close to Texas is not an achievement. Whether the best group of wins belongs to OSU or OU, I dont know for sure, but I feel OSU has practically no chance if they are ranked behind OU tomorrow & the Sooners win Saturday.

It's going to be interesting to see what the committee gives more weight. Ohio State's floor is obviously lower than Oklahoma's (although nearly losing to Army makes that debatable) but Ohio State's ceiling is obviously far higher than the Sooners. OU hasn't beaten a good team the way OSU did to Michigan all year.
