Take Miami at 4 in AP. Best wins are Florida, Va Tech and Louisville all in close games. Resume includes no wins over ranked teams and 2 games that came down to the final play

Indiana has a similar resume but has blown everybody out

BYU has a stronger top half resume having 2 ranked wins vs 0 for the other 2

Voters dont have to answers these types of questions and have to justify moving a team like Miami down, but the committee does generally have to present some logic on their show so could see all 3 grouped and ahead of
ND at say 6, 7, and 8 or 7, 8, and 9 behind 3 BIG and 2 SEC and maybe Tennessee on either side
