Fair enough. Ive pretty much assumed that Stanford will very likely be in the playoff if they win out, but maybe 2 or 3 teams will finish undefeated. I'd still prefer that Low APR U lose every game  :P

I think it would be hard for the committee to exclude the Pac-12 champion (particularly one with only a single loss, as in your scenario), however at least one Power 5 champion will obviously have to be snubbed.  An ideal playoff system, to me anyway, is one that grants berths to each Power 5 champion.  That way we can avoid all this kind of discussion.  However, I'll take this system over the BCS any day of the week.
