re: Does UNC deserve a playoff spot if they beat Clemson?

Just for fun, here are the Sagaran Rankings for UNC's opponts:
USC: 71
NC A&T: 154
Illinois: 72
Delaware: 193
G Tech: 53
Wake: 93
UVA: 76
Pitt: 34
Duke: 57
Miami: 46
V Tech: 42
NC State: 47
Clemson: 4
So, Pitt is regarded as their best win, next to Clemson. They have the worst loss by a mile of any contenders--Texas is a bad loss but not as bad as USC.
I would have to see how it plays out. This is the scenario I envisioned when the committee declined to define a specific criteria. If a team like UNC gets in for essentially 1 big win and a horrible loss, it sets the opposite precedent of what was supposed to happen. If I'm a P-5 school, why schedule hard OOC games?
OOC scheduling could knock out Stanford. I bet they wish they played San Jose State or Cal Davis instead of Northwestern. If you're Stanford or any other P5 team, why schedule a game like that if it can only hurt you?

Good post. I've thought all along that Stanford has a better argument than OSU, but both Stanford and UNC have another game that could spoil both team's cases. This whole debate could, and likely will, be irrelevant after Saturday.

This is 100% of the problem I'd have with UNC getting in, regardless of what happens Saturday.

Because if Stanford only had 1 loss right now, they would be in no danger of being left out. You schedule tough if you expect to be in the race so you don't face the danger of being left out. It works sometimes and falls flat others. Stanford, with 1 loss (and beating Northwestern) may well be the 1 or 2 seed
