Two months ago, I discussed the strength of schedule challenge that the College Football Playoff committee would likely face at the end of this highly unusual season. The Big 10 and Pac-12 had not yet begun their respective seasons back in mid-October, while other teams had already faced six FBS opponents at that point in the year. Comparing the respective bodies of work by playoff contenders would require balanced judgments of quality and quantity of results. We've had silly "extra data point" arguments bubble to the surface in previous playoff scenarios with teams that didn't play in a conference championship game, but we've never had "twice as many data points" arguments to settle like we're blessed with in 2020.
