The big 12 is always wacky, tcu will lose to Texas Tech in a 77-74 2OT game or something, putting a 1 L big 12 champ likely behind a 1 L pac 12 or 1 L acc champ. And that’s assuming things don’t really get wacky. The CFP has had it pretty easy thus far, they were due a crazy season with multiple loss conf champs, 2 undefeateds playing in a conf cg, ND in the discussion, a potential undefeated divisional champ with a really really weak SOS. Lots of weirdness already and we are only halfway through October. But I think right now most people would agree bama and uga have been the most dominant teams, followed by Penn State (needed a last min TD to win @ Iowa), and so if both bama and uga keep playing this way and face off in the sec cg, then I don’t think there will be much crying about 2 sec teams. At least not any crying with actual facts or logic behind it.
This is where I never understood why they moved away from the BCS formula. It wasn't perfect, but it at least took some of the subjective selection issues out of the final paring. If you took the 2 polls and the ESPN FPI (because, face it, ESPN would have found the way to include it) and ranked every team accordingly, there would be no question about where those 1 loss teams stood in relation to each other.
