Last year, strength of schedule mattered with Baylor's putrid out of conference schedule. Based on the committee's rankings before the final one came out, they clearly wanted to put TCU into the playoffs but they couldn't because Baylor beat them head to head. They didn't want to put Baylor in and reward them for scheduling NO ONE in their non-conference schedule. So that left Ohio State which made things a little easier by destroying Wisconsin in the Big 10 Championship Game.
If we finish 12-1 and Pac-12 champs, we are going to the playoffs. All bets are off with a second loss regardless of how good the rest our schedule is.
