The path is there

In my OP, I give the Big12 winner a CFP spot. They'd get the #3 seed.

It comes down to if Cincy loses, and if Iowa beats Michigan. 2 loss iowa is not going ahead of 2 loss Oregon.
 
Oregon's current "best" win besides Ohio State is a mediocre at best 8-4 UCLA team who lost to any team with a pulse they played all year.

I am not saying that this is right to do, but I could see Gary Barta saying the things above as @NewPhoneWhoDis and many others have stated to preach why Oregon didn't get into the CFP. But there are a lot of things that need to happen for this to swing in Oregon's favor.

I don't know who Gary Barta is? Honestly though -- what 2 loss team could Oregon argue they have a better resume than ranked ahead of them? This obviously, means UM, Okie State, Cincy, Bama all lose. Which one would they have a better resume than?
Cincy, possibly, if Cincy were blown out by Houston. Outside of that -- None of those teams have anywhere near the bad losses. Cincy has a win just as good (beating ND at ND), UM has a more dominant win against OSU and blew out Washington, who Oregon struggled with, Bama -- are they going to jump Bama because they lost to Georgia, while Oregon plays 3 loss Utah?

They simply do not have the resume to jump teams because of the brutal losses and the struggles with bad teams.

I could be reading wrong but it seems like he really thinks a 2 loss Oregon would jump a 1 loss Okie State. Lol!

They may not jump Okie State, even if Okie State loses and Oregon wins. The kicker is -- Baylor is ranked ahead of Oregon right now. So Oregon isn't jumping any team from the Big 12, by beating a 3 loss Utah, that you played already.

Baylor if they beat Okie State will get in over Oregon. So who wins the Big 12 doesn't matter at all for Oregon -- they are in no matter what over Oregon if their is a spot.

Oregon would have a better resume than Baylor and Iowa. Iowa didn't have to play some of the Big Ten's hardest teams. Baylor comes from the Big 12, besides Oklahoma who is there? Okie State is a nice story but they aren't fooling anyone in being a serious top 6 team.

Oregon would have wins @Ohio State and a revenge win vs Utah that puts them as a conference champion. I dont see how the committee could leave out a 2 loss conference champion who is well within a ranking position to jump into the 4th or 5th spot of the rankings and put in a 2 loss non conference champion who would have just loss to the very team they'd have to play in game 1 of the playoff.

If Alabama loses to Georgia and gets into the playoffs that means we see Georgia vs Alabama again in a month because Bama would be 4 and Georgia would be 1. Unless the committee does something stupid and to avoid such a thing moves alabama up to 3 after their loss to avoid a immediate rematch. Didnt they do this a couple years ago? Made a team that should've been #1 the #2 team to avoid an immediate rematch.

Lol sorry man but no

Iowa would have the best win of the 3

Baylor would have more top 25 wins than both

Oregon would have the worst losses

Nothing about Oregons resume would be better than either Baylor or Iowa and that doesnt even count Bama who likely gets in over all 3 anyway

Oregon only gets in if Bama gets absolutely annhilated and the committee chooses Oregon based on eye test over Iowa. Certainly possible but it wouldnt be resume based at all

Would also be a rematch win vs a top 15th ranked Utah team.

Key Word is rematch. Utah is still a 3 loss team. Oregon is the only school facing a 3 loss team in the conference championships. Not even the ACC, which is a bottom feeder with the PAC this year -- they have 2 10 win teams playing each other.
 
I guess I have to re-write this since people seem to miss the argument.

Georgia beats Alabama
Cincy loses to Houston
Iowa beats Michigan
Oregon beats Utah

Sending
1.Georgia
2. Notre Dame
3. BIG 12 CHAMPION
4. Oregon

Yes, I am aware the Big12 champ would be getting in

You responding to yourself now? There is no chance more than one person has such a ridiculous claim after a team has not only the worst loss, but the two worst losses and struggled with multiple bad teams, including trailing 17-10 to Cal and needing to score 2 touchdowns in the 4th quarter to beat them. But hey -- they won the cripple fight in the PAC though.

Responding to myself? Are you retarded?

Spare me your close win worry BS. Everyone save Georgia has struggled this year. A #10 jumps 6(+) schools after 4 of them lose and 2 or more don’t play? And you call it impossible? You just are starting out on CFB or you don’t understand it.
 
Iowa is not jumping from their 14th or whatever ranking to #4 with a win over Michigan.

New Michigan fan says 0% chance Oregon gets put in if this happened.

538 says there is a 43% chance of it happening. So there's definitely a chance. That isn't factoring in how bad the wins and losses are this weekend. If Oregon beats Utah soundly, it ups their chances, especially if Georgia wallops Alabama

Come on OD, no need to keep bouncing from account to account. There can't be more than one person that clueless. Only OD could come up with such foolishness

Definitely I think there is a chance.

A 43% chance, I’m not sure I’d go that high.

You are the one arguing it’s impossible for a #10 ranked team to move up to #4 if 4 teams in front of them lose and 2 teams don’t play.
