bretticus33 4 Here's where the controversy really starts.  I've held steadfast for a handful of years that the CFP teams should all be conference champions; otherwise letting in teams that don't win their conference or even division really reduces the meaningfulness of conference champions if you can still get rewarded for failure there.  Baylor won the Big 12 by inches with their backup QB and while a Sugar Bowl likely awaits the Bears, they should be the 4th CFP team.

owlalwaysloveyew 5 Baylor are the Big 12 champs! They had a tough strength of schedule and played well against it. There is some universe where the committee is discussing whether to include 2-loss Baylor ahead of UGA

YellowSkarmory 5 There is a very significant gap in my opinion between the top four and everyone else, which is neat for the four team playoff. Anyway, Baylor has sneakily been building up a great resume; three great wins against BYU and Oklahoma at home and Oklahoma State on a neutral site are really solid, and honestly up there in the win department with some of the top 4; they also have some decent depth wins at KSU and vs. Iowa State. However, they did lose to Oklahoma State on the road earlier, and they had a really rough loss at TCU, which is probably the difference between them making and missing the playoff.

TheFlyingBoat 6 Due to lack of recruiting success on the trail, terrible performance last year, and a slow start to the season, the computers really do not like Baylor. But the eye test tells a different story. Aranda and co have really, really turned Baylor around and made them an incredibly disciplined and effective team. They had gone seven quarters without a single penalty and have managed to run their style of play to great effect, including 0 against a ranked BYU team. While I believe Oklahoma St is the better team it isn't by much, as I view Baylor's, Oklahoma State's, Ohio State's, and Michigan State's resumes as all roughly in the same tier. However, Baylor has a conference championship that none of the other four do and I use that tiebreaker to bump Baylor to the top of the pack.
