Are college football fans really not going to watch the playoffs?). It's certainly possible that the committee will let that be determinative, but what is there incentive to do that? I doubt ESPN will be giving them payments under the table. Maybe some of the committee members are fans of a team that will make the playoffs and want the field to be as weak as possible but are they really going to want to come out and say, after months and months of talk about how the playoff will be the best four teams, that that was all BS and really it's the four strongest conference champions?
Well on the rivals.com main board, almost NOBODY thinks we'll stay #4. It is almost unanimously Ohio State, with a few predicting Baylor or TCU. Even other SEC fans think we'll get passed over in the end.

While I know a lot of them are, in fact, idiots, are they ALL idiots?
