The committee isn’t irrational.

When you view the original placements in context of getting conference champs, a 1-loss ND, and 4 from each of the Big Ten and SEC in all the rankings make sense.

But then you think, in theory you could get so high that one loss won’t drop you out, but then look how Miami fell 8 spots when Georgia incurred a second loss and stays ahead of Miami.

I’m not being paranoid, I’m just seeing the obvious.

Now, if tomorrow, when the updated playoff rankings come out and Miami stays in the playoff and Georgia drops out, and the ACC has two teams in, I will recant and say I am wrong.

Also, there is a scenario where the SEC and Big Ten teams with two losses lose again and you just don’t have enough 2-loss teams. I definitely believe a 1-loss Big XII runner up probably gets in over a 3 loss B10/SEC team.
