1 loss is better than 2 losses

not necessarily, but you could argue Stanford/Oklahoma till the cows come home and be right on both sides of the argument. That doesn't get fixed going to 8 teams. They made the call, and left out the team with 2 losses. Oklahoma won a P5 conference with 1 loss and looked very good down the stretch. I don't see the big issue.
At least in the scenario above, we can argue 2 good teams. With an 8-team playoff, we would have been arguing over FSU, Notre Dame, or Houston getting in

Your point is sound but you're knighting for a team that was dominated by Northwestern. It was an ugly loss. Stanford was a solid team and you're focusing on the ND loss, but the Northwestern loss cost them just as much if not more.
