[quote author=thunder_chik link=topic=13471.msg138954#msg138954 date=1446487587]It's going to be interesting to see how the committee sorts out a whole slew of 1-loss teams.

Not really. Only teams that win their conferences (and probably ND, grumble grumble) will be in consideration, barring some kind of super crazy finish.

Stupac is on target.  The Committee has a protocol for tiebreakers and it favors teams that win their conference championship:
Championships won
Strength of schedule
Head-to-head competition (if it occurred)
Comparative outcomes of common opponents (without incentivizing margin of victory)
