TAMU's decent. There are only 7 P5 1-loss teams out there. Of those 1-loss teams, you have Louisville and Ohio State at the top, and I think TAMU is as good or better than the remaining 5.
Now, can the argument be made that one or two two-loss teams are as good? Sure, but you know how polls work.

I don't see aTm as leading the group of 1-loss teams. They're top 10. I don't think they're 4. They're #4, apparently, on the "eye test."Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?

I don't see them leading it, either. I think 7th or 8th or so is fair for them."The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham LincolnComment

M is in there somewhere for the 4th spot if they lose to Ohio and get alot of help.Comment

They'd be front of the line for 1-loss teams, IMO. And they'd cockblock the P12 if the Buffs somehow won the that shitass league. And Oklahoma ain't passing them.
I think they'd get beat out by 1-loss, P12 champion Huskies and maybe by aTm.
For some reason, the committee thinks PSU is good...and even if you discount the M asswhipping b/c PSU played small children at LB, it's still an asswhipping. If Wisky survives this week, they'll finish in the top 10. And Colorado has an outside shot to improve up toward 10th.
The more I think about it now, the more I think OSU's loss to PSU may actually cost them down the road. I think this could be the year for an "at-large".
That said, some perspective:
2014 Initial:
1. Mississippi State (DAK!!!!)
2. Florida State
3. Auburn
4. Mississippi
5. Oregon
6. Alabama
16. Ohio State
2015 Initial:
1. Clemson
2. LSU
3. Ohio State
4. Alabama
5. Notre Dame
6. Baylor
7. Michigan State

Apropos of nothing: So far, no teams have been selected with a loss in the previous 28 days. The closest was Michigan State (B1G bias!). No other team is close to that.
2014 Playoff teams:
Ohio State - 11 game win streak
Alabama - 8 game win streak
Oregon - 8 game winning streak
Florida State - 28 game winning streak
2015 Playoff teams:
Alabama - 10 game winning streak
Michigan State - 4 game winning streak.
Clemson - 16 game winning streak
Oklahoma - 7 game winning streak
As far as 2016 goes, the more I think about TAMU's ranking, the more it appears that they are trying to hedge their bets to get another SEC team poised to go to the CFP if Bama slips up against LSU or Auburn."The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham LincolnComment

In the past, being a conference champ is a major consideration.
From the committee protocall:
When circumstances at the margins indicate that teams are comparable, then the following criteria must be considered:
Championships won
Strength of schedule
Head-to-head competition (if it occurred)
Comparative outcomes of common opponents (without incenting margin of victory)I feel like I am watching the destruction of our democracy while my neighbors and friends cheer it onComment

No reason to get excited yet. Michigan has to beat Iowa on the road at night, OSU in Columbus, and the winner of the West Division in Indianapolis to get to the dance. This is far from the best team Harbaugh will have in Ann Arbor. Hoke's boys have done well, but Jim will build a better monster.I'll let you ban hate speech when you let me define hate speech.

Yes, a conference championship is important. Leaving a P5 champion out to take a non-champion in the cfp. Recency of loss is an unwritten rule. It always has geen, even with the BCS and before.Originally posted by CGVT View PostIn the past, being a conference champ is a major consideration.

In fact, if you can't win your conference, you have no business ....(remembers 2011)....never mind."The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham LincolnComment
