How College Football Playoff selection committee will communicate its thought process about Oregon

Why is it a foregone conclusion that Oregon will win out?

I doubt they will, which would be the best outcome honestly. I don't think Oregon has the skill position players, particularly in the backfield, or the defensive line, to play with Ohio State or Clemson.

I think they have more than enough to play with Michigan or Penn State or Minnesota.

It's a chintresting question: would you rather be mauled in the dance or win the Rose Bowl?
 
the playoff selection committee is working out the calculus to get Alabama into the playoffs regardless of what happens the rest of the season.

Oregon has a legit OL, Herbert is good enough, and their D was good for much of the season. I don’t think they have much of a chance, but their playing style doesn’t lead to blowouts.

Still not completely sold on Cristobal, but he does emphasize line play and running the ball. That’s all it really takes in the PAC 12, which is typically a skilled but soft conference.
 
Until the Pac 12 can convincingly win a big ooc game, it cant.

USC beating Penn State in '16 was the last one, and that was a miracle Darnold comeback

Does beating the defending champions who were on a 26 game win streak, in a playoff semi-final Rose Bowl game, count?
