Looked them up and the win @ BYU is the only decent win among the 6 wins. So Utah's is slightly better. But nothing that is going to make me put them in the playoffs over Baylor.

You know that points out another problem. I'm pretty sure the AD's have to leave the room when discussing their team. However, that means there is NO Big XII representation when they are discussing Oklahoma.
The Oklahoma AD (Castiglione) AND Frank Beamer (son is on the OU staff) both will have to recuse themselves when Oklahoma is discussed. https://collegefootballplayoff.com/news/2019/8/15/cfp-selection-committee-prepares-for-1920.aspx
Based upon radio shows I have listened to, this happens whenever Oklahoma is starting to get talked about and thus they will leave the room well before the committee is discussing spots 4, 5 or 6.
Meanwhile, the Oregon AD is the chair and three other members have some form of a Pac 12 tie. None need to recuse themselves when Utah comes up.
I would bet that Utah sneaks in if the Sooners don't handle Baylor easily and Utah beats Oregon.
Either way the playoff game that one of these teams goes to will be attended by the finest people America has to offer:
Utah: The Mormons, idk know if Jesus was in America in the 1800’s or if he had sister wives, but I do know that those Mormon girls take one sip of Mountain Dew and their shoes come off.
Oklahoma: the people too dumb to build basements in the middle of the tornado devastation zone known as their state.

Not being Baylor qualifies anyone to get in that isn't Baylor.
If Baylor and Utah both win, they have to take Baylor. Baylor will have won the toughest conference top to bottom with only one loss, which was to a top ten team. And they will have avenged that loss.
Now...what if Wisconsin wins?
Do they take a two loss Wisconsin over OSU, OU, and Utah? Even if they lose, OSU is still the better team, imo, with a better overall record. But how much will they value a conference championship?

unless Wisconsin wins 59-0 and forces Justin Fields to be picked up off the turf and carted off in an air cast or neck brace OSU is going to the playoff.
There might even need to be some dirty recruiting stuff on OSU unearthed at the same time....and even then I'm not sure OSU gets left out.
If OSU loses they're out and Wisconsin would not get in with two losses. They'd take both OU and Utah or Baylor and Utah.
No way. In that scenario, 2-loss Bama or Georgia will get in.
Not saying that Baylor wouldn't deserve it objectively, just that the committee will not do that. Brands and marketing and money is the criteria, not SOS or quality wins. Those details are just for the rationalization process for the television audience.
They would probably justify it by saying beating OU isn't really a big deal, since they lost to them earlier LOL.
Yeah I guess if Wisconsin blows them out then maybe they wouldn't get in but the likelihood of that happening is like .5%
I'll be keeping my eye on Hy-Vee ads for the next 4/$10 deal on Pepsi products. Then booking a flight to SLC asap.
It blows my mind they are not getting massive negative media coverage every day to go along with their success this year. Apparently crime does pay.
I didn't understand this last week and still don't. Utah is #5 and OU is #6. If they both win their CCGs Utah is in. The Playoff Committee has been telegraphing this for weeks.
If there was an argument to be had for ranking OU higher than UU it's moot now. Utah MUST lose for OU to get in.
I honestly believe the discussion of Utah vs Big 12 Champ is moot. Stupid Georgia is going to beat LSU and we will see the committee find a way to get to SEC schools.
#1 OSU vs #4 LSU
#2 Clem vs #3 UGA
If LSU wins, my opinion is the Big12 winner should be in based off of strength of record. I hate the eye-ball test/game control. I believe its been proven that the better team can run up the score and look like all-stars if playing weaker competition. For that matter, despite Dabo's whining, if his team loses he should probably be out too.
