If I am the complete CFP committee, the first thing I’d do is sleep with my 13 wives, one after the other.

One easy decision for the committee: Leave Penn State out.

The wildest thing about this is in the first year of an expanded playoff Penn State is a likely 4 seed in a four team playoff year.

That was one reason I was dying on Saturday, I dreaded the possibility of IU getting in and PSU not being chosen.

Losses by Texas and Notre Dame this weekend would help solve their dilemma. Crossing my fingers.....

As much as possible, avoid matchups between schools from the same conference until the championship game

Auburn over Bama, too - three bad losses would cancel out some of that SOS and 4 top 25 wins.

Syracuse beating Miami would help too - I think

I would declare Penn State as National Champions, send a note to Sue Paterno apologizing on behalf of Richard Nixon for 1969, and then continue on with the playoffs for everyone to play for 2nd place.

And if that didn't work I would order a Code Red.

Why wouldn’t it work?

I mean, looking at the list, seems the first 11 are a lock, barring no major upsets in the last week. Only remaining question is do you take 2 loss Clemson over 3 loss Alabama, and I think the answer is yes, but only because 3 losses and still the ability to compete for a Natty is a bad look IMO.

Edit: that said, this is also why I wanted only an expansion of the playoff to 6 teams. Even 2 losses is pushing it in my mind as to who is "worthy" to win a National title.

Keep in mind, the Big 12 Champ will already knock out the "12"
