Likely voting bias for each group:
SEC: 3 votes
PAC XII : 3 votes
Big 10: 3 votes
Big XII: 1 vote
ACC: 1 vote
Wild Card: 2 votes
Everyone is talking about the likelyhood of the BIG champ getting left out if there are questions about conference strength. I think it is very likely that the Big XII champ will get left out and if the ACC champ is not FSU they better be undefeated as well. Everyone thought this committee was the way to go to get the best 4 teams. Looks to me like there is a very good chance the SEC or PAC gets two teams in with these people voting on it.
