The Committee is going to favor a 2 loss PAC12 team over a lot of other teams – potentially even a 1 loss BigXII or ACC team. Remember, last year the Frogs and BU got left out completely, and FSU was VERY close to being left out, despite their undefeated marking. The results from last years playoffs only reinforces the fact that the ACC has a soft intra-conference schedule. I think even a 2 loss Pac12 team makes it, and depending on circumstances – a 3 loss PAC12 South winner beating Oregon in the PAC12 championship game has a great chance.
