The CFP committee is very comfortable leaving two-loss teams out of the CFP. I don't think there has ever been a 2-loss team in the CFP, as the committee has shown its willingness to prioritize a one-loss non-conference champion over a two-loss conference champion. I also don't think a 12 win conference champion has ever been left out (in the first year of the playoffs, the CFP left out two 11-1 Big12 teams that shared a conference title; they did not play a playoff game back then).
It would have been interesting to see who got in between a one-loss Oregon and a one-loss Oklahoma, but alas, Oregon laid an egg against ASU, as it would have forced the committee to chose between two one-loss conference champions.
