IMO Georgia, Michigan, and TCU should be in as well, even if they lose today. They would be 13-1. tOSU should be in because they would be 11-1. All other "qualified" candidates have at least 2 losses and therefore have a lower winning percentage. Easy-peasy to figure this year out. No ambiguities about conference championships etc. Nobody (who is not overwhelmingly biased) is going to argue for LSU, Purdue, Kansas State or Utah as worthy selections. How am I wrong?

You're right, of course. Ya gotta win when you're playing the game you need to win. Maybe all of this palaver will cease when the 12-team tourney arrives. Then again...
