Take Alabama for example. The SEC East is so terrible that winning their Conf Champ game does nothing for their profile. If they lose however they would automatically be disqualified.
Oklahoma has a loss to Texas. This is true. Alabama has a loss to Ole Miss. Oklahoma still has the opportunity to beat TCU AND Oklahoma State.
If they do that they will have wins over the following ranked teams:
#23, #23, #6, #15, and #8
By comparison Notre Dame has beaten only #14 and #21 (chance to beat Stanford who will be in the 20's)
Alabama will have beaten #20, #8, #9, #2, and #17. Most of those ranked teams have been exposed as frauds BTW.
Clemson has perhaps the worst resume of all. Wins over #6 and #16. Obvouisly their bump is due to being "undefeated".
Actually check that. Ohio State has the worst of all. Having yet to beat a ranked team. That must a misprint but regardless they get to finish the season with Michigan and Michigan State. Two decent wins but still worlds away from what Oklahoma can do.

Alabama has a better resume than Oklahoma, but I'll just call the teams they beat frauds and say Oklahoma is better because I'm a Big XII homer with the ideological zeal of a brainwashed cult sister-wife.
Garbage.
