The committee has just one purpose, Causing Chaos and Controversy. PERIOD!

To be very clear, I had LSU #1 the whole time. For good reason.
Judging by the way they ranked the last two weekends, they're intentions were to have LSU at #1 in the final rankings. Barring an LSU slip up, the committee's intent all along was to create a frenzied atmosphere.
This to me is just wrong. And the biggest victim in it all was OSU and their entire fan base. The committee put OSU #1 after a home win against then 8th ranked PSU. OSU went on to beat #13 Mich on the road and #8 Wisconsin. All were double digit wins. If anything, did they not solidify keeping the #1 ranking? Realistic fans would agree.
Here's the last two weeks rankings. Tell me what really changed? Logically, I can't justify LSU beating Arky, TAMU then crushing #4 Georgia was bigger than OSU winning 3 very tough games, by double digits, three weeks straight. Besides LSU/OSU switching, the only REAL change was a basis flip flop with Utah and Oregon.
Week 14----Week 15
1 OSU_____ LSU
2 LSU_____ OSU
3 Clem_____ Clem
4 GA______ Okla
5 Utah_____ GA
6 Okla_____ Oregon
7 Bay______ Bay
8 Wisc_____ Wisc
9 Fla_______ Fla
10 PSU____ PSU
11 Aub_____ Utah
12 Bama___ Aub
13 Ore_____ Bama
14 Mich____ ND
15 Mich____ ND
All the committee did was to make OSU and their base think they were better than the committee thought they ever were. Evil in my opinion. If you watched the reaction of the OSU team and their faithful after seeing they were dropped to #2, then you know exactly what saying.

The fact there are no clearly defined metrics or criteria is a joke.
No one knows how to schedule or play because of the inconsistency of the whole process.
In the end it doesnt absolutely matter because the correct 4 teams got in.

They dropped LSU to #2 because they had made up their mind that they were putting Bama in at #4 if they beat Auburn and they didn't want a rematch in the first round. When Auburn upended those plans, they had to actually evaluate the teams fairly.

The committee is trying/tried to do the impossible:
Match the 'feelings' within the sports world and be able to defend it to everybody. They do that to try and minimize controversy, not to create it.
However, because the 'defend it' part, they unintentionally create by picking the narrative that fits the outcome.
So resume didn't matter, eye test did. Today resume matters again. That's their mistake. They picked a poison pill, defended it with 'complete team' and 'eye tests'. Now overwhelming evidence required them to revers course- to avoid controversy - and they look like waffling flavor of the day drunkards with the palsy.

Evil in my opinion.

Because Penn, Mich and Wiscy were all vastly overrated and the committee knew this and OSU struggled against at least Wiscy losing by double digits at one point.
