The committee, in my opinion, will lose all credibility if Baylor is behind TCU and Ohio State. They deserve to be ahead of both base on their best win, their worst loss, and head to head results.

Not saying you're wrong....but does the fact that Baylor got to play that game at home, and only won by 3, not matter? So it's, "sorry TCU, if the game was at your place or a neutral site, you would be in...but it wasn't, so you're out".

When you have head to head data, it has to weigh the most. Anything else allows bias to creep in.

So if Boise beat Ole Miss this year, lost to Air Force and finished 11-1? and Ole Miss went undefeated in the SEC only losing to Boise?. you would have Boise go to the playoff over them?

*I would like to see this, hypothetically*

Fair hypothetical. I should've clarified that this is for teams of similar schedules, meaning in the same conference.

In that scenario, I would probably lean to OM, assuming that Boise didn't play anyone of worth for the year.

Those 2 teams are in different conferences
