The College Football Playoff selection committee can’t mess this up — I think. The Oregon Ducks have been the No. 1-ranked team in this space for weeks, and the CFP ought to follow suit. And behind Oregon should be another Big Ten powerhouse, whose only loss happened to be to the Ducks: Ohio State.
It’s what the committee will decide to do with Indiana that interests me. The selection committee is tasked with selecting the 12 best teams while using a criteria that revolves around winning the conference championship, winning marquee matchups during the regular season, and then, what each of the voting members believes is the best team — scoreboard be damned. If Georgia had five losses but was deemed one of the 12 best teams in the sport by this committee, they’d make the CFP.
