It’s because of stupid Clemson this year. They can sleep walk through their damn conference with that team, but they’re the returning champs, so until they lose, they’re the golden boys. Only game that will give them pause is Virginia, who they’ll still beat. ‘Bama at least has some decent teams in their conference, so does Oklahoma. tOSU honestly looks like a blood-crazed maniac. We’ll see how they do against Wiscy, but I think they’re coming for blood. UM might be 9-3 this year, don’t see that team beating tOSU, and unless Harbaugh is a miracle worker, they’ll likely drop 2 more games. So if (REALLY BIG IF) tOSU, Clemson, ‘Bama, Oklahoma, ND and Utah all end up undefeated, Utah is definitely not chosen because Clemson is the returning champ, and ‘Bama is the returning runner up, and the other 3 are bigger names. If this unlikely scenario happened again next year, then I think the CFP Committee starts looking at SOS, but definitely not this year.
