Should they be in over a 1 loss BYU, if that loss came in the CCG? That used to be the more compelling argument, but is now moot.
Now, should a 2 loss Notre Dame or Miami get in over a 2 loss BYU? Or a 3 loss SEC team over a 2 loss BYU? Or, heck, should a 2 loss BYU get in over a 1 loss Indiana? Those are much more interesting arguments.
