1. SEC
2. ND
3. ACC
4. B12, B10, P12
At this rate, I see Georgia & Alabama duking it out for the SEC spot in the CFP.
If ND doesn't lose any more games, they're likely in.
Clemson has a straight shot to the ACC spot if they beat Miami. The rest of their schedule doesn't seem as daunting. The Cocks are 6-3 but they're unranked.
Three P5 conferences have to fight for the final CFP position.
B12 - Oklahoma vs TCU.
B10 - Wisconsin.
P12 - Washington. Probably a very slim chance for the Pac 12. But they did get a chance last year and the B12 didn't.
We need help from the B12. If Oklahoma beats TCU, I don't see us having the strength of schedule to jump them. Their win against tOSU is likely looked at as the same difficulty as the B10 CCG game.
But if they play again in the B12 CCG game and TCU then beats Oklahoma, they will both end up with 2 defeats. That will open the door for us to get in if we finish undefeated.
