Why does everyone have Oregon ranked over Ole Miss?

If my math is correct, Ole Miss has two wins over playoff teams, and Oregon has zero wins over playoff teams
6

Keeping the same relative ranking as before. No real reason to switch them unless matchup purposes. UGA beat Ole Miss by 7 at UGA, Indiana beat Oregon by 10 at Oregon could be a data point but eh its pretty negligible.

Both Oregon and Ole Miss' only losses became conference champions today.
Maybe if Indiana lost you could have argued Ole Miss to jump Oregon, but I don't see a reason they would do it now... unless they really want to avoid a Tulane/Ole Miss rematch.

I don't think we jump Oregon. But the argument would be that Tulane's win Friday is worth enough to move us up even while idol. Before this weekend, we had only beaten one playoff team.

Fair point, but to counter that I bet they would bring up the chance in coaching staff. I agree though I dont they swap unless they had them that close but I doubt that.

Tulane being a playoff team matters not

CFB has 2 major issues. One is everyone just sorta expected Oregon to be a great team this year and not many expected OM to be. This leads to high preseason rankings and the thought of "I mean yeah Oregon lost to an undefeated Indiana." We still don't know if Oregon is that great, but they only have one loss and it's to the #1 overall.
The same is true in inverse. It's why the committee has such circular logic. They say they reward harder schedules but they kinda don't unless they want to. They generally revert to preseason rankings which are largely "yeah they were good last year, got some dudes, shouldn't drop off much."
Which leans into the second issue...unbalanced schedules. Oregon avoided Michigan and OSU this year. Lost to Indiana. Scraped by Iowa. Ole miss missed Bama, played UGA tight, beat OU. UF and LSU kinda sucked. With these massive conferences, teams can't control their schedule a ton.

Because they were ranked ahead in the preseason poll

This is why you have to set it all up like FCS. Conference winners are in and basically the rest of the top 25 makes it as well. It creates a no nonsense setup where everyone has a chance and the odds of any worthwhile team getting left our are so minute that there just wouldn't be that much hand wringing.
Of course I'm sure what will really happen is the ACC teams will massively overreact to a fluke occurrence of 5 teams all being tied for 2nd and the team w/the worst record somehow winning out.

But only Oregon lost to undisputed #1...so, what's the argument for Ole Miss again?

Ole Miss also lost their coach. This a thought experiment at this point
