Pac-12 naturally Pac-12ed itself. Old format would have produced the national game of the week everyone wants to watch. Now they have a rematch with USC against a Mountain West program where all that can happen is said MW team knock USC out of the CFP. Even a fading Oregon team vs USC would have been way better.
Oh, also it's on Friday. Would be gay even if it was UW vs. USC. Way to pre-cuck yourself Pac-12.
One thing a savvy conference would avoid the two best records thing is it can fuck up your big teams. For example, in that format in the Big 10 Michigan and Ohio State would have to play again this week and someone would have to walk away with another L.

This is such a good point. What a dumb ass conference

The old format would've had the most compelling matchup they've ever had in the Pac 12 CG
Two offensive guru first year head coaches Two Heisman candidate transfer quarterbacks Two top 10 ranked teams Two legacy Pac 10 rivals Two shit ass defenses ripe for a plungering on national TV

Where the committee started fucking everything up is when they start comparing blind resumes over head to head. At some point late in the season, every game is a playoff game, like the old college football where every game mattered.
In the scenario you described, if Michigan loses to tOSU in the CCG, you could make the argument that Michigan's loss was on a neutral field and tOSU loss was at home therefore Michigan had a better loss even though it's the championship game.

Exactly and it's one of a few reasons the change to the better overall record thing was always stupid. The SEC has gotten two teams into the CFP twice which probably wouldn't have been possible had they gone the best overall record thing.
In the current conference format it should have been obvious it was frequently going to create situations like this year with weird tiebreakers between teams that never played each other.

The year that officially "broke" college football for me and it became abundantly clear the scales were forever tipped to the south was the LSU vs Bama rematch in the BCS title game pre-playoff.
We just saw the game, Bama lost, the end. Even if the computers say they are the number 2 after the loss, we just saw it. It was completely fucktarded to run it back. Oklahoma State was left out and then Bama gets revenge in the title.
Games on the field need to matter. Recency needs to matter.
UW beat Oregon in their house, but if you choose between them in conference play on a blind resume, Oregon is the better team because they have better losses (UW, OSU) and wins (UCLA, Utah).
