Fourth Place Playoff Team
Prepare as this is a long post, but based on these results which I think are well in the realm of possibility and personally I think this will end up being the results. It?s about to get pretty chaotic. I evaluated the top 13 teams remaining schedules along with Pitt because I think they win out and win the ACC. No one else has a chance barring some craziness As you will see, it is very likely a 2 loss team will make it. This is pretty much with all favorites winning except Auburn beating Bama in Iron Bowl
UGA wins out, Ohio State wins out, Notre Dame wins out because their last two opponents are bad. . Now we have team 4. Here are the options
Oregon with 2 losses (Utah and Stanford), Pitt with 2 losses (Western Michigan and Miami) Oklahoma and Oklahoma State with two losses (Ok State wins bedlam then OU wins big 12 champ), Ole Miss with 2 losses (Bama and Auburn), Cincinnati with 1 loss (Houston), Michigan with 2 losses (Ohio State and Mich State). Michigan State with 2 losses (Ohio state and Purdue) So who does the committee pick? I would assume Oregon because of the OSU win but it will be interesting to see. If Oregon loses twice to Utah that will make it more interesting
Baylor will eliminate themselves Saturday losing to 7-3 KSU in Manhattan.
Wake will eliminate themselves losing to Clemson Saturday @ Clem and Pitt in ACC championship.
Bama will eliminate themselves losing iron bowl and to UGA
