May be a wrap for the playoff. Perhaps a Florida loss tonight and beating Bama. Or North Carolina beats Clemson and they, IMO, screw the ACC. Outside of those I think it's a wrap.

I think you're right. Assuming ND loses to Stanford and Oklahoma is in, there is no way they take two from the B1G and none from the ACC and SEC unless Clemson and Alabama both crap the bed in the championship game.

This final list is pretty straight forward. OSU will be #6 Tuesday. There's some complications in teams jumping OSU with a win potentially, but you have to live with that risk.

Florida beating Bama
North Carolina beating Clemson
USC beating Stanford

Florida no way jumps OSU with a win.
North Carolina may jump OSU, so that would be interesting.
Ditto for Stanford if they don't lose to USC. Could jump OSU, but I'm not certain.

Extra Credit: does loser of Iowa/MSU have any chance of staying above osu? The above is with the assumption they don't.

I wouldn't worry too much about Stanford

Interesting question on loser of B1G CG. Just depends on who and how I guess.

IF Iowa gets smoked then it's pretty easy to assume OSU would jump them. What is they win? 2 loss Sparty-do we get a mulligan?

IF Stanford pulls an OSU vs. Wisconsin type game, I could see it happening. But would hope with a normal victory they wouldn't jump them. Never know though. Probably a better chance of UNC jumping with a win over Clemson.

they could (UNC) but I think the committee uses that scenario as an excuse to pull on the ACC what it did to the B12 last year and put in a brand name school (OSU)

This would REALLY test the CFP committee's "emphasis" on a conference champ thing though. Maybe too much.

Stanford isn't getting in over OSU with 2 losses.
Florida has about as much chance of beating Bama as me and 10 guys from my office.
The loser of Sparty-Iowa isn't getting in ahead of OSU. Iowa's schedule is too weak and 2 losses are 2 losses even if Sparty has them.
Oklahoma clinches tonight.

The PAC 12 are out, ND is out, Alabama and Oklahoma are in, the B1G title game winner gets a bid, so the only way the Buckeyes have a shot is if UNC can win the ACC and the committee values our body of work more than the Tar Heels.
