I think its probably pretty impossible to leave any undefeated conference champion out of the playoffs unless all 5 conferences go 13-0, and that chance is a zillion to one.

Thats not what you were saying in this thread though.
You literally said Iowa's cupcake schedule was why they werent getting put in the CFP even though they were in the Top 4 of those rankings when they were 11-0 and 12-0.
I'm not a ND hater but after last year I hope they really deserve it if that happens or their playoff chances in general.
Agreed and I am an ND hater.
Between last year and their showing in the title game against Alabama a few years back it has not been good.
I never said they weren't in there I'm saying there were some people who weren't sure how good Iowa truly was so they were leaving them out of it. There were people putting MSU in it instead of them. I'm not saying that they were literally being left off because the CFP poll had them at #4. I'm saying that there were those skeptical about them being on there due to their schedule.
Listen, guys who discuss college football on podcasts / talk shows are not those who are legitimately voting teams into the CFP. There is a committee. I'm not saying the committee members were not putting them into the CFP because they obviously were.. that's why they were #4. I'm saying there were people not affiliated with the committee who were skeptical of Iowa. Which they should have been because the moment they played two good teams back to back, they crumbled.
You cant even remember what you posted in this thread an hour ago so I dont expect you to remember what college football podcasts were saying almost 4 years ago.
As I said when this conversation first started, you are putting way too much weight on the clips of Cowherd talking about Iowa in 2015.
They were shellacked in the RB, I have no problem admitting that.
They lost to MSU on a TD with like 40 seconds left so I dont consider that crumbling.
And how is quoting your posts "creative"?
I do know what I said an hour ago.. You chose to read it that I meant committee members when I was talking about guys on ESPN discussing college football. But that's alright you can think you proved me wrong if that makes you happy. And Colin Cowherd hit the nail on the head on that take.
