CFP chairman Rob Mullens said difference in top 3 teams - 1. OSU, 2 #LSU, 3. Clemson - was achievement. OSU has 4 top 25 wins, LSU 3, Clemson zero. Last week, OSU was No. 1 on the eye test. Sounds flip-floppy, but a chance for LSU to regain No. 1 win a win over UGA.

I asked CFP committee chair Rob Mullens why Wisconsin is the highest-ranked two-loss team. He pointed to three top-25 wins (Michigan, Minnesota, Iowa). Also that Badgers are top 10 in relative offense and defense.

Rob Mullens says the difference between 1, 2, and 3 is the number of ranked opponents each has beaten. OSU is at 4. LSU is at 3. Buckeye fans need to keep rooting for Cincinnati. But even if OSU and LSU are even, the committee showed last week that OSU's DEF was the difference.

I don't want to pat myself on the back, but I got Rob Mullens to project into the future tonight.

Here’s what Rob Mullens said about the Utah-Oklahoma debate:

Rob Mullens on diff between Utah and #Sooners: We spent considerable time on it, more than anywhere else on the board. There was plenty of debate. OU: Win at No. 7 Baylor w/o Lamb Utah: season-long balance on both sides of ball, dominant wins, only loss on road w/o key player

The weekly “look behind the curtain” doesn’t make things better. Rob Mullens and the College Football Playoff committee didn’t clear anything up. They made it more confusing. Forget the fake transparency. Quit putting this on TV.

I checked the CFP teleconference transcripts from this season, and this is the first time Rob Mullens has made special note that Utah lost to USC on a Friday night. I could only locate one other time Mullens noted a particular day of the week at all - and that was a Saturday.

Pertinent answers from College Football Playoff selection committee chair Rob Mullens on 1) Why Auburn moved ahead of Alabama; 2) How far conference championship game losers fall; and 3) Whether Auburn has a shot at a New Year's Six bowl: https://t.co/349vBFSBZa https://t.co/hy8VgtDQDO

Rob Mullens said the CFP selection committee is still discussing the top grouping of Ohio State, LSU and Clemson "in great detail."

Rob Mullens' response to @GuerinEmig's question about the difference between Utah, OU: Utes showed a "Season-long balance of consistent play on both sides of the ball. Very dominant wins and only loss on Fri. night on the road to No. 22 team w/ key player on offense missing."

Rob Mullens on a conference call: "We do understand that this is an extra game. Wisconsin is a division champion and we're aware of that when we get in the room and have discussions."

I *think* I’ve outlined Auburn’s paths to potential New Year’s Six bowls? It’s an outside shot, especially considering Rob Mullens’ comments re: conference title game losers, but I believe these are the scenarios

Rob Mullens said they spent "considerable time" on Group of 5 teams, in particular Boise State, Cincy and App State. "Boise State's win at Florida State, you compare that to App State's wins at South Carolina, North Carolina. Then Cincinnati's only losses are to ranked teams."

LSU remains locked at No. 2 in CFP rankings behind Ohio State; updated with quotes from CFP chairman Rob Mullens https://t.co/nJ7HltUl8t via @theadvocatebr

@BJRains Does Rob Mullens remember that Cinci lost to one of those ranked teams by 42 points. I know it was Ohio State but, they got their chance against the big team and got destroyed.

A few interesting thoughts from the committee: Rob Mullens has said in the past that the committee does not incentivize margin of victory, that the number one thing is always performance on the field. He was asked how the committee reconciles those two things, and said

"We spent considerable time on it, more time than anywhere else on the board." CFP committee chair Rob Mullens fielded questions following the latest #CFBPlayoff rankings, and addressed Utah being ahead of the #Sooners: https://t.co/Njo1b4MFvp
