Let's Look at the "ONE LOSS" Teams in Top 6...

There is plenty of talk right now about what "one loss" teams should be selected for the College Football Playoffs -- so, I thought I'd give the Committee some background on each of these teams:

TEAM A:

  • Their one loss was to the currently ranked #11 team (9-2) by 4 points
  • Strength of schedule is: #13
  • Wins over FBS opponents: 11

    TEAM B:

    • Their one loss was to the currently ranked #24 team (8-4) by 3 points
    • Strength of schedule is: #50
    • Wins over FBS opponents: 9

      TEAM C:

      • Their one loss was to a currently un-ranked opponent (7-5) by 3 points
      • They do not have any common opponents with Notre Dame
      • Strength of schedule is: #5
      • Wins over FBS opponents: 9

        TEAM D:

        • Their one loss was to the currently ranked #4 team (12-0) by 11 points
        • Strength of schedule is #9
        • Wins over FBS opponents: 11

          So, right now -- two ONE LOSS teams are set to make the College Football Playoffs -- how do you pick among these four teams?
