Stuff like offensive/defensive efficiency shouldn't matter if you aren't winning enough, but the committee can use that to justify a team's inclusion or exclusion.

I've been saying this for a long time now that it won't be long before a P5 team makes it with a sub 500 record because "they are a good team but played a tough schedule". Winning games should still matter!!!
