It has to be Alabama, Clemson if they win out, probably an undeserving ohio state and then either the big 10 or pac12 winner. If it's Washington they get in over the big 10 winner I'd think and if it's CU they probably get left at home in favour of whoever wins the big 10.
Resume or not I think it's ridiculous that a team that didn't win its division or conference can be in the playoff but that's the way it is.
Edit: if your goal is to get the four best teams without concern for conference titles you'd take Alabama, Clemson, Ohio State, and Michigan. But I might be slightly biased.

I think that is the goal, we have the same 4 teams.
Putting Penn State in over Michigan is a joke. Why even play the regular season then? If you're using conference championships to differentiate between teams that didn't play each other in different conferences that's one thing. Including a two-loss team with a head-to-head beatdown AND an inferior schedule over another team is silly.
Note my objection is more to Penn State than Wisconsin. I could see the argument of Wisconsin over Michigan because of Wisconsin's win over LSU being solid and how close the Wisconsin-Michigan game (as well as how close the Wisconsin-OSU game) was and since it was played in Ann Arbor.
