Let's see how far this "bad loss" drops Southern Cal.*

That’s a whipping! We should be safely back in the Orange Bowl barring any more mayhem.

Question 1:  Will the committee move USC (#4) below Utah (#11) in the final poll? Maybe not, using the committee logic. The committee seems to value good losses more than good wins.  Using that criteria you can argue that USC should be ahead of Utah - that Utah loss to Florida really is a killer now.  How ludicrous is that?  

Question 2:  Using that same criteria, does Penn State not have a great argument to be ranked ahead of Bama in the CFP?  PSU's only losses are to Michigan (#2) and OSU (#5, soon to be #4). Please don't misunderstand - I'm not stating that I think that PSU should now be ranked #5 in the CFP, but by the committee's ranking criteria this would seem a no-brainer.

Penn St has no quality wins, or at least no wins in the top 25, IIRC.  Bammer wins ain’t much better, but they do have 2 wins vs top 25…. Barely.  Plus, PSU got trounced by UM.  

I still wonder if TCU “looses”, will the committee reconsider UT/Bammer seeing how the #4 spot is up for grabs?

Having 2 wins in the top 11 is pretty impressive, but that damn cock loss just taints everything.

My previous post was basically a sarcastic post of the selection committee's ranking of Bama ahead of us.

No. Widely reported that TCU would need to be blown out..
