Irrelevant. They can go undefeated but not make a New Year's Day Bowl. We can lose to OU, beat them in the big 12 championship and make the playoffs.
If BU goes 11-1 with a loss to OU, makes the champ game and beats OU, BU will not be in the playoffs.

yep.
The current play off model is better than the BCS system we used to have.
But it will never be fixed until the power 5.....and some would say Mountainwest & AAC.....Champs gets an auto bid to the playoff.
There will always be an inherent bias in the system for name brand name schools like (USC, Oregon, Texas, OU, Mich, Ohio St., Penn State, LSU, Auburn, Bama, UGA, Florida, Florida State, Miami, Clemson) over every one else.
Everyone knows a 1 loss bama is getting in over an undefeated say Wake Forrest.
Or a one loss Florida State is getting in over an undefeated TCU.
It's still got a rigged feel to it.
