You know the drill
1) any undefeated team from a big conference or Notre Dame get in
2) a pool of one loss conference champs, or one-loss fatcat teams that didn’t make the conf title game, battles it out by their pull with TV draw, political sway and history
a one-loss team that lost its conf title game hasn’t been much of a creature to consider because almost all conf title games have been massacres
we are overdue for a major upset in a conf title game
