Many fans of Big Ten and Big 12 teams wondered if “SEC bias” on the College Football Playoff selection committee would lead to Georgia being ranked No. 4 over Oklahoma or Ohio State.
As it turns out, that didn’t happen. 12-1 Big 12 champ Oklahoma was voted No. 4. Interestingly enough, the committee’s top six is the same as the old BCS formula would have generated.
The folks at BCSKnowHow.com shared the post-Week 14 BCS top 16. Only the committee’s top six has been revealed so far. The rest of the committee’s top 25 will be announced at 2 p.m. ET.

Many thought that the committee was being inconsistent by ranking two-loss Georgia between two conference champions (No. 4 Oklahoma and No. 6 Ohio State). It’s interesting to see that the BCS formula shows that there is something of a consensus for Georgia at No. 5 and 12-1 Big Ten champ Ohio State at No. 6.
