What the playoff bracket looks like, for reference
- Tier 1 - IN even with a loss next week
- Tier 2 - IN with a win next week
- Alabama
- Michigan
- Oklahoma State
- Tier 3 - IN with a win next week and at least 1 loss in Tier 2
- Tier 4 - IN with least 2 losses in Tiers 2-3
If somehow you see 3 losses out of Alabama, Michigan, Oklahoma State, and Cincinnati, you'd likely see Alabama and Ohio State back in the mix. Baylor, Iowa, and Oregon could work their way into the discussion depending on how their championship games go. That's all pretty far-fetched though.
