I definitely think it's a discussion. My guess is the hierarchy goes 1.) Oklahoma 2.) Utah 3.) Baylor. Oklahoma will have better wins. They MOV hasn't been stellar every week, but that didn't stop them last year.let’s say UGA loses:
Is Utah out if OU wins? Utah was ahead of Oklahoma in last week’s playoff ranking albeit that could change with OU’s win over an at-the-time 3-loss team?
I think at the very least it warrants a discussion.
It is a nice debate. But, I would personally put Utah in over Oklahoma if there is limited chaos. I have no idea what the committee would do. I just happen to think that they have passed the eye test better than the Sooners even though I know that is a very subjective take. Utah would have a better loss and the Sooners would have more wins against better opponents. So, it would be a close call.I definitely think it's a discussion. My guess is the hierarchy goes 1.)

As it's been discussed, it'd be great for us to hold onto #1 and draw Utah/Oklahoma in the first round. Neither of them scare me and it allows LSU and Clemson to battle it out to face us.
Still would not be surprised if they swap up into #2 after LSU's marquee SEC championship win over Georgia.
So far they've kept Utah ahead of Oklahoma, but I think the way either team wins will be a big factor in deciding the final 4.

Is this a prediction or your opinion? Either way Michigan should be ahead of Notre Dame IMO. A third loss to the #1 team should not drop you below a team you demolished a few weeks ago. It's why I've agreed with the committee in keeping Wiscy ahead of Michigan through the season, they smashed them head to head.
