If chalk holds, those are the 4 playoff teams. It'll get real interesting if Wisconsin loses to OSU, does the committee take Big10 champ with 2 losses, or 1 loss Alabama? Same thing with Clemson if it loses to Miami, does the committee want Bama or Miami?
The only certainty is 1 of Auburn/Georgia will make it.
Oklahoma loses next week and the Big12 is out
Clemson loses and they're out, Miami might then sneak in at #4
Wisconsin loses and they're out, OSU might sneak in at #4
I think Clemson, Oklahoma and Georgia wins next week taking care of 3 spots. But I also think OSU beats Wisconsin which makes things extremely interesting. It's disappointing that late season losses mean so much more than early season losses. It should be based on the entirety of the season. An 11-1 team, whose only loss was on the road to #6 team in the nation could be out of the playoffs for a 2 loss team with a 30 point defeat to an unranked 7-5 team.
