Assuming we had a 12-team playoff this year and the same CFP rankings existed, Oklahoma would have been really ticked off for not getting in (probably are about not making NY6 as well, but that's not big news).

They had a neutral win over a team in the playoffs, whereas Penn State, Mississippi, and Missouri had no wins over teams in the playoffs. The Big Ten gets 3 teams, the SEC gets 4 teams, and the Big 12 only gets 1? I think Oklahoma would have had a legitimate gripe.

But ... I think with 12, no team left out will have a claim that they should have been considered for #1. I'm not sure we have that this year.

The teams with an actual argument that they were unjustly left out will be the G5 teams that are 12-1 with a couple of Top 25 wins but get passed over for a 9-3 SEC/B1G team. Not that they would have won it all, but that they really deserved to be in and got ignored because the money is better with the other choice.

If OU should have been 12 but is 13 and Ole Miss gets in instead, who cares?
