If you want to know why the Big Ten pushed for the 24-team CFP, consider this from selection committee chair Hunter Yurachek last night about South Carolina:
"They also have what we believe are quality wins against Oklahoma, Florida and Texas A&M."
I say this every election, but every state should copy Florida and have the entire vote counted within a couple of hours of polls closing. Insane we allow the counts to stretch on for weeks in some states.
The committee banged Notre Dame for a lack of signature wins (or win, singular)
No. 4 Indiana's wins:
North Texas
Howard
Western Kentucky
Northwestern (29-23)
Rutgers
Nebraska (20-17)
Michigan (13-6 in OT)
Minnesota (23-16 in OT)
