Here is how it looks now:
Alabama should be home free. They will crush the Citadel this week, and should take care of business against Auburn in Tuscaloosa next week. That is enough to put them in no matter what they do against Georgia in the SEC CC Game.
Clemson has two home games against Duke and South Carolina, and then goes up against a team with 3 or 4 losses in the CC game. They should be home free.
Notre Dame has two games left. One in New York City against Syracuse (8-2) and the season ender at USC, which should be a rout. The Irish are -9 1/2 against the 'Cuse. The Irish should win out.
Michigan and Ohio State. The winner of this game on the 24th may have a good shot at the playoffs if they can get past that pesky Northwestern team in the CC game.
Georgia must win out. If they do, they are in and there is a strong possibility that the Big 10, Big 12 and Pac 12 all get shut out.
Oklahoma and West Virginia. They both must win out to have a chance at making the playoffs and that is impossible seeing as they will play each other twice in two weeks. The Regular season ender and the CC game. They can take each other out.
Washington State. They have to get past Arizona and Washington, both games at home, and then whoever survives the Pac 12 South and have some help. A longshot at best but Mike Leach is a great interview.
