I think that the committee is really going to value SOS and winning your conference.

While I hope our team is a shoe-in, let's face it, I'll be glad if we're in a position to b***h and moan over being screwed over. It means we had a great season and are still relevant. Being one of the 4 best teams in the nation is an incredibly tough bar, when you consider the programs with vast resources and minimal non-football requirements for their players.

I'm also hopeful that a "committee" approach will create a more rigorous process than just "well, team A has 2 losses, so we obviously can't consider them over team's B, C and D who only have 1 loss." But in the end, there will be a lot of pressure on the committee members to avoid being too controversial and giving an appearance of favortism. If they chose Stanford over Michigan St, for example, you can imagine the outcry of people claiming O. Luck, C Rice, T Will.ing.ham and any other person with Stanford connections had used undue pressure.
