I love to dream as much as anyone else but there is no situation where a G5 team gets into the playoff right now.

Yeah, they've got to pass the committee 'eye test'. So what if the B12 is 0-3 vs. the Sunbelt and the Sunbelt champ is undefeated..... Oklahoma looks good!

Well in fairness, that's how Clemson got in last year, and it makes sense too - just because your conference is bad doesn't mean you are. We all could see that Clemson was a playoff-worthy team despite the ACC being a quasi-G5 conference last year. The same could very well be true of Oklahoma.

Bottom line is, with so few OOC games, particularly among P5, computers will be useless for ranking teams. The eye-test is all we have. It's a strange year so make the best of it.

Why the ACC can't get it together confuses me. Miami, FSU, and Clemson have won a combined 11 national championships. Many more championship game appearances among those. Pitt, GT, and Syracuse have also won titles. VT has had a championship appearance. The second tier includes Louisville, who has had multiple top 10 finishes; NC State, who is one of the top producers of NFL QB's; and UNC, who did well in the first Mack Brown tenure and has high expectations in his second. BC has had a Heisman winner. Even Wake, Virginia, and Duke have had admirable seasons.

Yet the league can't perform well all at once. Someone help me understand why they can't get it together.
