I'm pretty sure it was because MSU has now played 1 more

I get that but.....how does a team go from being" probably the most balanced and efficient team " the previous week after not playing, therefore not doing anything to diminish its " percieved greatness" to being dropped/jumped by a Michigan State team with the same exact record. If Iowa had won, then jumping Oklahoma would have made sense but not this. Follow the $$$$.... this committee is aware of which 2 teams would bring the highest ratings and therefore the higer $$$$, yep, Alabama and Oklahoma. Neither Michigan State or Clemson is seen as dynasty programs. Just because you don't believe in conspiracies doesn't mean they don't exist! If $$$$ moves mountains, it can certainly rig a National Championship don't ya think?

I would believe the Playoff committee wants that conference

To get a championship game, and this is almost like a punishment for them to get one.
Also, Michigan state added a win against the #4 team. That probably helped their national perception a little bit

Had to have been the lack of a championship game

But I don't think they really thought MSU was better than OU.

That was my concern, that they did it to punish Oklahoma

for not playing a championship game instead of simply basing it upon who was the better team.

Well they obviously didn't do their job and screwed us in the process. MSU is, without a doubt, the weakest team in the field. We would have been favored in that game.

They said it was a close decision....

but the 13th game and the overall body of work were the deciding factors which is total BS IMO.

It's not ever about ranking top 4. It's all about matchup.***
