My father-in-law and I got in a debate over this weekend on if this scenario played out, what would happen. Let's say at the end of the season each conference has an undefeated champ.
13-0 Ohio State
13-0 USC
13-0 Oklahoma State
13-0 Clemson
13-0 Alabama or Georgia.
What would the playoff bracket look like? I argued that in that scenario Oklahoma State would be the one left out of the playoff picture. He argued that ESPN would find a way to include the 2nd place SEC team as well. I think this scenario has a chance of happening, to be honest. What do you think the committee would do if they had five undefeated Power-5 champs on their hands?
