In the poll voter-dominated BCS system, an early loss and who you lost to was meaningful. We have no evidence to suggest the committee will be at all influenced by these factors. It may very well be that a 11-0 Stanford team that loses at UCLA and then beats them the following week n the P12CG, wins over the committee, even if UCLA is ranked higher when Stanford loses.
The committee has stated it will give deference to conference champions, IIRC, and just because say Ohio State lost a game in September and goes on a winning streak, it doesn't follow that they have a better resume than what would be a 12-1 Stanford team, for example.
