I was looking through things and think we may be misunderstanding the tiebreaker procedure.
You can’t really read 7.4’s last sentence as ever applying in any scenario when you also have the 7.5 scenarios. And, it seemed weird to me that the 2020 rules refer to the various options for championship games. I wondered, would the 7.5 be necessary in any year not a COVID year?
Sure enough, 2020 was weird guys. The “final weekend of the conference regular season” only featured 2 teams.
Part of me is starting to think that 7.4 is going to apply and whoever is higher in the CFP next Tuesday gets in. The rules clearly call for “subsequent CFP rankings to be considered under 7.4. I can’t see how that provision would be relevant if 7.5 were going to apply.
