The committee chair said that they will be watching all the relevant Conf championship games together, and debating the merits along the way.
Like anything, who knows what happens after the coin toss, but I feel like there is an excellent chance that we will be dominant. And I feel like IF we are, then LSU would be putting themselves at peril should they slip up against UGA. Because IF we are 12-1, Pac12 Champs, and do it with the same margin of victory that we’ve had to-date, I just don’t see the Committee excluding us by letting both LSU and Georgia in. And at that point, it’s pretty difficult to make the argument that LSU is the better team since they didn’t even win their own conference.
Agreed, I should probably care more about the CFP, but I don’t. I do think we could surprise someone in the first round, but I would be satisfied with the Rose Bowl.
