I could be wrong, but I don’t think OSU would make a NY6 bowl if they lost, and OU is a stretch for an at-large. Texas would be the Big 12 champ but they would either get the B12 spot or CFP. If they make CFP, I think the B12’s NY6 spot converts to at large.
I think the best route would be for OSU to upset Texas and get the Big 12 championship qualifier. Texas should still be high enough to get an at-large to a NY6 bowl. That would bump up everyone a spot
Michigan
Georgia
FSU
Washington
Assuming all take care of business in the CCGs
Anything else is the same farce we've seen from the CFP over the years.

Won’t the winner of army navy (both currently 5-6) in two weeks knock them out?
The Pioneer League actually won playoff games in 2016 and 2017.

My guess for the playoff:
Georgia
Michigan
Florida State
Winner or Oregon/Washington
Things could get interesting if Florida State or Georgia lose. If Alabama beats Georgia, does the committee reward Bama? Texas won the head-to-head, assuming Texas beats OSU. Georgia is in no matter what, because SEC.

A 12-1 SEC champion being left out of the playoff? Surely you jest. If Alabama wins, they are in. I do think Georgia is in win-or-lose (unless Bama absolutely destroys them), but I’m also told Georgia’s schedule wasn’t strong, so … maybe not? Maybe a Bama win lifts Texas above Georgia for that spot?
Or, knowing the committee, they put Ohio State in there instead.
Personally I’d put Texas as the “next team in” if an undefeated stumbles and opens up a spot, but that’s just me. Ohio State shouldn’t be considered unless there’s at least two spots opening up.
I don’t think there’s any doubt that if we end up with four undefeated P5 conference champions, that’s our four playoff teams. If the committee screws that up, there’s simply no hope for the system.
If Oregon wins, they take Washington’s spot, so no opportunity for someone else.
If FSU loses, they are out, and a spot is open.
If Michigan loses, do they stay top 4? I say no, considering how embarrassing it would be to lose to Iowa. I think that would open up a spot.
Oregon deserves it imo if they beat UW. They've been very impressive and beaten good teams.

- Michigan beats Iowa
- Alabama beats Georgia
- Louisville beats FSU
- Texas beats Okie St
- Oregon beats Washington
Washington and FSU have only 1 loss, and Washington beat Oregon at Oregon.
CFP committee: “Total historical appearances in the 4-team field are an important data point this year. Michigan (1) vs Georgia (4); Alabama (2) vs Ohio St (3). What are they going to do? It’s the last year of the 4 team format. LOL.”
Nah Georgia is in no matter what. They are not being prevented from trying for the 3-peat especially if their only loss is bama. Plus their eye test is pretty much locking them in. Michigan is also most likely in no matter what. Texas needs a win and two teams to lose. Bama also needs multiple teams to lose.
The weird thing for me this season is going to be the matchups. I still have Georgia as the champion but FSU is going to get crushed if they get so that’s going to be essentially a bye if they make it.
It absolutely should be the 1-loss conference champs, and it would be in a fair and just world.
On the other hand, the CFP committee has a history of inventing metrics to benefit the B10 and SEC on the fly. Whatever the outrage, it’s solved by the CFP expanding next year anyway. There’s no accountability.
Let’s see where Ohio St ends up ranked this week. IMO, it should be something like:
- Georgia
- Michigan
- Washington
- FSU
- Oregon
- Texas
- Alabama
- Ohio St
####, I wanted one last time to beat that slimy little pr!!k in Ames again, so we could rush the field.
I could see them being in the 5/6 spot this week actually. But again they are the only team in the top 8 not playing in a championship game so they can only get in if others lose.
It peeves me that Iowa rises 2 spots after they got lucky in that ****-show in Lincoln. I know they are 10-2, but dang.
I could be wrong but I though Oregon lost in Seattle, not at home?
