Obviously the ranking doesn't matter when you're undefeated. It's when we lose a game that it matters. Because of our ranking, if we were to finish 11-1 we'd miss the playoffs because of Ohio State FSU getting the nod ahead of us as one loss teams because of where they started
the playoff committee decides on who gets into the playoff, not the silly rankings. Ignore them.
Our sole focus should be winning the West, and then the SEC. Do that, and we're a virtual lock to make the playoff.
In your 11-1 scenario, if our sole loss is to an undefeated Alabama, then we're almost certainly not getting in the playoff, because the committee will be very hesitant to put in two teams from the same conference. That would mean two Power5 conference champs get left out - and that's highly, highly unlikely to happen.
Forget the rankings - just win the West.

As long as we don't lose, we could move up before the Florida game solely based upon teams above us losing.
