And how Ohio St finishes the season will have an effect on how good of win Oregon just got. The committee told Fla St no when they looked like they would flounder in the playoffs. So there is that precedent. LSU has Texas and Tennessee still left on the schedule.

Head to head usually only matters when almost all else is pretty close to equal.

Oregon beat USC at USC by multiple scores, then just thrashed USC’s best win (tOSU) by more points.Oregon is 9 is SOS. USC is 29.Oregon is 3-1 vs CFP Top 25. USC is 1-1, including a loss to Oregon. Oregon’s opponents record is 53–19 (.736). USC’s opponents record is 46–36 (.561). If USC is in front of Oregon on Tuesday, that is a crime. But they probably will be, because the only thing that matters is wins and losses. What a joke!
