Strength of schedule is important to the committee. They’ve beaten a bunch of cupcakes and teams that subsequently turned out to be crap.
Bama have beaten no one, while looking very impressive. The SEC final will be epic. ND there because of their 1 point loss to Georgia and their demolition of USC. I love this new format but wish they would dispense with conference finals and go to 8 team playoffs. Like asking to get rid of the Munster final unfortunately.
They’ve looked the best team in the country but I am not an affiliated member of the American Press. It’s a much maligned ranking system but it’s not going anywhere.
Buckeyes should be top 4 also IMHFO.
By your own admission you haven’t seen Georgia who are very impressive. I ageee OS are underrated and indeed might win it out. ND probably a bit overrated. Penn State a bit unlucky but couldn’t end up in top 4.
Couple of big teams in a spot of bother; particularly Ohio State who are down 17 - 31 away to Iowa.
Clemson are also in a battle with NC State, down 17 - 21. The Wolfpack QB, Ryan Finley is putting up some impressive numbers.
You mean Brady’s heir? 
What a game unfolding in Oklhaoma. two of the nation’s top (top) QB’s slugging it out as Baker Mayfield’s Oklahoma lead Mason Rudolph’s Oklahoma State 35-24 halfway through the 2nd quarter.

Barkley & Co facing a second loss on the bounce. Michigan State have just taken a TD lead. Middle of the 3rd.
38 a piece at the half. Mayfield with 387 yards, 3 in the air and 1 on the ground.
tOSU are now down 38 - 17. Cheerio Buckeyes.
Big 12, where defense is optional 
Buckeyes emptied the tank last week.
Clemson take a 10 point lead with an 89yd rushing TD as time runs out in the 3rd. Exceptional blocking there.
NC down by 7. Need to convert this 4th & 2.
And Michigan State knock off Penn State.
Huzzah!
Finley rushes. Gets it!
2 x 20 yard gains there. Finley throwing them on a dime.
Agonisingly close for NC State. 4th & 10. This is it.
Gets it! Flag down!
illegal shift. Disaster for NC State. 4th & 15.
