@Mavric Interesting comparison but I think most people have been skeptical of Wisconsin the whole season. They still have Michigan and OSU/PSU to play. I am sure wins against 2 of those 3 will make their case look a little bit better.
As for UCF, as odd as it sounds not playing Ga. Tech is hurting them even though their record isn't that great. I think the Maryland win would have looked better if they didn't lose all their QBs. UCF has been very impressive in all their wins and I wouldn't want to play them in a bowl game if I were a P5 team. However, I am sure they will look different once they lose Frost as their coach.

Ok Mavric how about THIS set up for the playoffs:. http://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/david-whitley/os-sp-ucf-college-football-playoffs-david-whitley-1115-story.html
Yeah, it's going to take something like that. Probably even a little more. Won't surprise me if their scenario happens - obviously not too far-fetched. The question is what would it take for the Committee to put them in the Top 4.
As they said, their scenario would have only Alabama and Miami with fewer than two losses. But that doesn't get them in above a two-loss, Big XII champion Oklahoma for sure. Maybe if they don't win the Big XII. But I doubt it would get them in over a two-loss, Big XII champ TCU either. So there would probably need to be more chaos in the Big XII.
They also wouldn't be in over a two-loss, B1G champ Ohio State. And it's far from a given that they'd be in over a two-loss Pac-12 champ.
And they said that in the article. They were just wondering how an undefeated UCF would stack up against two-loss teams from the Power 5. I don't think they'd get the nod. I'd say there would have to be at least a couple three-loss Power 5 champions for them to have a shot.

While intriguing-I agree-a little far fetched. I shared this with Knap on the Status Update. I SO love the small town/underdog kind of feel. (e.g. Hoosiers)

Jay Bilas was going on and on and on about "They say every game matters, then UCF and Wisconsin should be in the top 4 since they're undefeated" during the Duke-MSU game last night. I don't disagree. I still think an 8-team playoff is the way to go and we'll get there eventually. Maybe in 10 years :dunno
