This week, we have the 2 usual suspects, Clemson and Alabama, but the 3rd and 4th positions seem to always be in flux, now occupied by Oklahoma and Iowa.
Last week spots #3 and 4 were filled by Michigan State and Iowa, after MSU beat Ohio State (which was then the #3 pick) in Columbus.
All justified and righteous.
Now MSU has been summarily dropped out of the picture following OK beating Baylor -- and all of the loud chatter about the Big 12 not being represented. OK leaps way up into the playoffs, and Mich State's huge accomplishment didn't happen.
Bull. Committees are just political instruments; I don't care what "reasoning" they use as a smokescreen.

I get the logic, undefeated teams get the nod. MSU should have lost the Michigan game, that was a fluke and goes against them a bit along with the fact that Ohio St had not be convincing, just undefeated. Iowa will be there until they lose and MSU will get their shot. Right now, they're a one loss team with a recent loss to Nebraska, a 5-6 team.
Notre Dame didn't move up due to a squeaker over Boston College leaving a slot for the Big 12. If ND beats Stanford convincingly on the road, they'll move back into the 3 or 4 spot depending on the Big 10 and Big 12.
OK moved up due to OK St losing. That will get sorted out this weekend. If OK wins, they'll stay, if not, the Big 12 will have a tie between Baylor and OK St with Baylor winning the head to head. I suspect they'll be left out altogether. Why OK went to #3 rather #4 is perplexing.
I'd love to see S. Carolina or N. Carolina knock off Clemson. Then, we'd really have a mess especially if Stanford knocks ND out of the conversation.
