Jan. 1 Rose Bowl Pasadena, Calif. (2) Ohio State vs. (7/10) Winner
Jan. 1 Fiesta Bowl Glendale, Ariz. (4) Iowa State vs. (5/12) Winner

Dec. 20 or 21 Autzen Stadium Eugene, Ore. (5) Oregon vs. (12) Boise State (4) Iowa State
Dec. 20 or 21 Beaver Stadium State College, Pa. (8) Penn State vs. (9) Alabama (1) Georgia

Dec. 20 or 21 LaVell Edwards Stadium Provo, Utah (7) BYU vs. (10) Notre Dame (2) Ohio State

Just sayin': CBS Sports is still projecting Ohio State to win the B1G CCG. Both Oregon and Penn State get a 1st round home game. An 11-1 Indiana is dumped in favor of Tennessee who will probably have 2 losses as they still have to play Georgia. Projections aside the real CFP rankings come out Tuesday.

AP is out too

Penn State is 6th in the AP, 7th in the coaches. (Coaches moved Tennessee above them)

If this were the CFP rankings, both B1G and SEC would have 4 (as BB73 recently projected in an excellent post)

Does Jerry Palm of CBS realize that Iowa State, which he projects as the Big XII Champ and #4 seed, just got beat?

And if they beat BYU in that CCG, BYU would not be getting the #7 seed.

Missed that

My goodness he has them not just above Indiana (who probably has 1 loss in this scenario), but also above Penn State (ditto). Absolute insanity. No way the Big 12 should get more than their champion in.

The only way that Indiana shouldn't be in the top 10 (which they are now) in the final rankings is if the Buckeyes beat them by 4 scores or more, which is very unlikely in my uneducated opinion.

Only 1 G5 team is getting in.

In a normal year, yes. Army has thrown a wrench into that: huge cultural (even political) pressure to include them, and unlike your run of the mill poverty program G5, they'll be as good a TV draw as the big boys. Only question is if they include Boise too, or just have Army jump Boise at the end and tell them to fuck off. Army beats ND and ends up as undefeated AAC champ, then I think it'll be easy for them to include Army and dump Boise. The fun starts if they both end up as 1 loss G5 champs.

You had me until ‘Army beats ND’. I guess we can dream …

If OSU wins out, good chance there are 4 teams from the B1G with 1 loss.

Under that assumption (certainly not a guarantee of course), you have:

Ohio State
Oregon
Indiana
Penn State

Georgia*
Texas
Tennessee*

SMU (have a feeling they smack up Miami in the ACC championship)

BYU (B12 Champ)

Boise State (fifth ranked conference champ)

The Army/ND winner, likely ND unfortunately (Assuming neither drops another game outside of their matchup).

The last spot seems like it would come down to a mix of 2 loss SEC teams. *Georgia and Tennessee matchup soon so one of those two gets thrown into the mix here and we're looking at two 2-loss SEC teams to fill the last two at-larges.
