Because of the new playoff format next year,

I will guess an ACC team would still have to be undefeated to make the four team cut.

THAT CAN NEVER HAPPEN

Oh, wait, it happened this year.
Also, hypothetically a 1 loss F.S.U. or a 1 loss Clemson team would still be in the running next year, granted, it would be harder for F.S.U. If Clemson were to drop the opening game to UGA and then run the table they would certainly be in the mix.

Unless top teams in stronger conferences have 1 loss, too.

The ACC is certainly not making any progress to get above the #5 conference in strength. So a 1 loss SEC or PAC team for sure will get considered by the committee over a 1 loss ACC team.

The one thing that is going to make it worse is the lack of conference limits in the playoffs.

Two big ifs but
IF the 4 team playoff went into effect this year
and
IF Clemson had beaten South Carolina
then Clemson would be 11-1 and would have not even sniffed the 4 team playoff.
1. FSU
2. Auburn
3. Alabama
4. Michigan St.
These would all have been on the outside looking in.
1 loss Ohio St.
1 loss Baylor
1 loss Clemson
So the point remains correctly that 1 loss ACC team be it Clemson or Florida State will very likely never make a 4 team playoff.

And that would be correct choice by the vast majority of informed folks. Sadly Auburn and Alabama would play back to back games under that scenario.
My problem will be with who gets in the other major bowls picked by the Committee.
If the othe bowl reps are all or mjority SEC - which will happen - we'll see the playoff expanded to 8 - QUICKLY!
Hopefully with 5 to 6 automatic conference qualifiers.

Is that a situation where the only loss for an SEC team was
Dec 31, 2013, 7:10 PM

the conference championship? Like the situation this year with Bama and Auburn? I think it ends up the way it did this year without the committee. They would pick the conference champion unless their earlier loss was a really bad one.
