I know that their content isn't always that great but this was pretty good I thought. Pretty much explains the whole process of picking the CFP.

If Milrose injured himself scrambling for that last first down, would Alabama have been left out?

If Penix had been injured on that last drive, would Washington have been left out?

If Ewers had been injured in the second half, would Texas have been left out?

I'm guessing the answers would be no, no, and no.

The more I think about this the more I don't think the Big Ten has to worry about SEC bias.  The ACC and Big 12 are going to be totally screwed by it, but the Big Ten will be fine.  If we put all the teams in their conferences for next year and applied it to this years rankings, the Big Ten gets Michigan, Washington, Ohio State and Oregon in the playoff. SEC gets Texas, Alabama, Georgia and Missouri.  ACC gets only Florida State.  Liberty gets in as group of five. Big 12 gets a spot that goes to...... Arizona? The Big Ten and SEC can then fight over who gets the last spot which would currently be Penn State with Ole Miss throwing a fit because they are SEC.

From a Big Ten perspective we are fine.  Sure we could get screwed one year if we are 5th in the Big Ten and the SEC bias puts an Ole Miss in over us, but moving forward anything third or better in the Big Ten is a guarenteed spot and in many years 4th will do.
