For eight seasons, phrases like "style points" and "eye test" have become part of the unofficial College Football Playoff dictionary -- at least outside of the selection committee meeting room. The committee members all pay attention to the flow of games and quality of opponents, so if a team struggles to beat a team it should take care of easily -- let's just go ahead and throw 1-6 Kansas in here -- it's part of the conversation.
Everyone in that room, though, will insist they aren't asking teams to run up the score each week to prove a point.
