The best bet is if the Committee doesn't want to put a DESERVING Memphis team in under that scenario, then they should just leave the SEC out of it. Period. THERE is no way to justify putting any SEC team in if it played out like that.
You also, couldn't justify putting in a 2 loss PAC team in when comparing to Memphis or the SEC Champ in that scenario. Please explain to me how you would... You can't, it would be a disgrace and completely pathetic...
Notre Dame would also have 2 losses in that PERFECT scenario.
So in this HIGHLY unlikely scenario.
It would probably be leaving the SEC out all together.
1. ACC
2. B1G
3. Big 12
4. Memphis
or leave the SEC, PAC and Memphis out all together.
1. ACC
2. B1G
3. Big 12
4. Some team they pull out of their ass, to try and justify not having Memphis in the top 4. Won't be a 2 loss Notre Dame. Who could it be?
Bottom line is if things play out the way that scenario describes, Memphis IS in. Compare Schedules, whatever metric you would want to use. Memphis would be in the top 4. Everyone thinks it's just simple to say they won't let a G5 in. It doesn't work that way... This is a Playoff, it is open to all 128 FBS teams... At the end of the day, when you are comparing everything Memphis in the BEST case scenario would have 5 Top 25 wins. Better than almost ANYONE in front of them. 8 wins against Bowl teams. Better than almost ANYONE in front of them. Would have beaten the MAC and SEC CHAMPS.
It's not probable any of this happens anyway, but if it does don't be surprised to see a top 4 Memphis.
Come on, what arguments could ANYONE possibly spit out to argue this? I can't wait to hear them.. I am expecting a lot of opinion oriented bs, and a bunch of non factual bs. Please prove me wrong....
To paraphrase Chris Rock...."Perfect for who?" :)
Obviously not for Notre Dame lol.
People keeping bringing up these scenarios on Memphis getting left out.
shortened version.
Ole Miss wins the SEC.
BGSU wins the MAC.
Memphis wins out 13-0. 8-0 vs bowl teams, 5 top 25 wins.
PAC champ has 2 losses.
Notre Dame has 2 losses.
They bring all of this up, and still debate whether or not Memphis would get in.
Bottom line. If all of that happens. YES, Memphis gets in no questions asked.
Memphis would be the #4 team and it's not debatable.
Can't have Bama in claiming they are playing better than anyone when Ole Miss beat them head to head and also beat the same opponents.
Can't validate a 2 loss PAC team getting in over an SEC Champ, 1 loss Bama or LSU, or Memphis in that situation.
So the scenario is perfect for Memphis. If all that happened regardless of what any fans opinion is. Memphis is in.
That scenario being debated is comical. There is no debate. Memphis is in.
As I said. The scenario is highly unlikely anyway.
If that does happen though, and Memphis ends up 5th or 6th. It'll be a joke.
