IF the Bucks win out and Indiana and UNLV lose this weekend, the Bucks will have only 5 wins vs teams that have .500 or better records. This is significant because no team has ever made the Playoff with fewer than 6 quality wins. Committee Chairman Kirby Hocutt's comments from last season indicate the importance of beating teams with .500 or better records:

Committee chairman Kirby Hocutt stood strong by the group’s stance that wins over teams with a .500 or better record was what impressed them most versus an unblemished record. This was the explanation put forth for the first debatable revelation in the rankings. Hocutt explained, “Simply stating, the committee, in our mind, believes that Texas A&M has played a stronger schedule at this point in time of the season over Washington.” Hocutt added, “Texas A&M has got four wins against teams that are better records than .500 compared to Washington only having two wins against teams that have .500 or better records.” ( http://www.recruitingnewsguru.com/college-football-playoff-rankings-focu... )

Indiana and UNLV are currently one game below .500 ball, but IF they both win this weekend against Purdue and Nevada, respectively, it would give the win-out Bucks 7 'quality' wins. And a laughable as it might seem to call UNLV and IU 'quality' wins, it fits the Committee's definition. Of course, the Bucks would have also beaten #12 MSU, #2 PSU, and #5 Wisconsin
