If you take the projected top 15 and look at their home losses, there have been a total of 4, and OU will be responsible for half of them. That’s the sort of thing the committee really rewards. I could see them jumping Clemson and staying ahead of Miami. But those teams also have some strong arguments.

It's just a fans' argument either way, because each of those three teams are in if they win out.

There are 7 teams who are locks to be in the playoff, without help from anyone else, if they win out:

Alabama
Auburn
Georgia
Clemson
Miami
Oklahoma
Wisconsin

Not sure about Auburn. Close win vs. Alabama and Alabama may beat them out like Ohio St. did last year vs. Penn St.
Wisconsin, Miami/Clemson make it. OU probably does. Does Auburn's win over Alabama and conference championship make up for the extra loss when comparing them to Alabama?
