Sure they are in now, but everyone has essentially played the same amount of games. What will the committee do if faced with 1-loss Notre Dame, 1-loss Clemson, 1-loss Oklahoma, and 1-loss Washington who all win a 13th game which is CCG. What about 1-loss Notre Dame vs. 1-loss Georgia (only loss to Alabama in CCG.) Could 1-loss Notre Dame be out? If so, could that worry the Irish about independence?

We all saw in the first year of the CFP that 1-loss TCU (XII co-champion) was left out after being ranked #3 the poll before.

As stever20 stated, UW is out because of schedule. If ND wins out, then the lack of a CCG won't be held against them. Thus two slots are already locked up:

1. SEC Champ
2. ND

Leaving three teams vying for the last two openings, Clemson, OU, B1G Champ. Regardless of SOS, I don't think you could deny Wisky if they win out. Clemson gets the last spot because their loss occurred with the starting QB on the sidelines.
