Had AL/Clem lost, would committee

I doubt they would have. With the emphasis that the committee places on conference championships, I very well think NC could've snuck in. I don't understand the love fest over Stanford one bit. They lost to a NW team that we crushed and lost to an Oregon team that is having a down year. They won the weak Pac-12, whoop-ti-do!

No doubt. I think the only reason they put us at 5th is to have Stanford between us and OSU to help avoid temptation from the Rose to pick OSU anyway.

Yep. And the committee basically said that UNC won't make the playoffs the week before when they put them at #10 and said they played 2 FCS schools. No way were they jumping Stanford or OSU or Iowa for that matter.

I think it depends on who would have lost. NC wins and they may have taken #4. Bama loses and then the SEC would have been shut out. It would have been between us and Stanford at that point. They very well could have flipped a coin at that point.
