They have uncovered a secret memo sent to the members of the Playoff Committee. (Or maybe not.)

The highlights included:

In addition to the rules established and made public, the following MUST be applied in all cases. No exceptions will be made
  1. Alabama shall be given every consideration and included if they have 2 or fewer losses. If possible, that may be expanded. ALWAYS refer to rule 1.
  2. Ohio State shall be included if there is anyway possible, but NEVER at the expense of rule 1.
  3. The final list must be approved by a select panel at ESPN, but they too, must honor rule 1. They may override the committee if somehow the committee does not apply rule 1 or rule 2, if available.
  4. If Alabama and Ohio State finish second in their division and their division champion with the respective title wins the overall Conference title, they will be elevated per rules 1 and 2.
  5. If Alabama and Ohio State finish second in their division, and their division winner does not win the Conference Championship, Rule 1 and Rule 2 will be enforced using criteria as Strength of Schedule or the ubiquitous Eye Test.
  6. Should at any time the Official Spokesperson show any hesitancy on the enforcement of the rules, he shall be reminded of terms like Rhabdomylosis, Section 8 housing, and Chris Doyle. Should take care of any situation.
  7. The only exception to any of the above shall be if Notre Dame is undefeated. Hail Mary, Full of Grace,....
