1. Bama 10-0
2. Miami 9-0
3. Clemson 9-1
4. OU 9-1
5. Auburn 8-2
6. Wisconsin 10-0
7. UGa 9-1
8. OSU 8-2

More like:
1. Alabama
2. Clemson
3. Miami/Oklahoma
4. Oklahoma/Miami
5. Wisconsin
6. Georgia
7. Auburn

The committee will assume a big jump for Auburn if we beat Alabama. They will assume that the loser of Clemson and Miami in the CCG will determine their seed. And until then they will keep Georgia hanging back. Because if they beat Kentucky and Georgia Tech their fate will be decided in the SEC CCG.

Wisconsin gets the big jump to 5th because the committee really wants a Big 10 representative in the CFP. The only way Wisconsin fails to make it is if they lose a game between now and then.

Right now the committee will be thinking they take the SEC champ. Wisconsin, the ACC champ and Oklahoma. The only way anyone will get two in now will be if Wisconsin loses badly to Ohio State in the CCG, and Oklahoma drops another one. Then if Clemson beats Miami the ACC could sneak two in. Or if Alabama beats Auburn and loses a close one to Georgia.

But I think those scenarios are now more remote. I don't think OSU factors in at all (Oklahoma State or Ohio State). The Pokes have no defense and the Buckeyes have two blow out losses one of which was not to a top 10 school.

Miami will be #2 over Clemson after this tonight. Really meaningless in the long run as they'll play.

Alabama, Georgia (still), Clemson, Miami, Oklahoma, and Wisconsin control their own fates. If they win out, they are in the playoff. Ohio St gets really interesting because if they win and someone knocks off Oklahoma- going to not be that much left that could top them. Even including Oklahoma.

As does Auburn...

If we win out.

Going based off of what I see right now and possible finishes.

Wins:

Bowl Team Missouri
Bowl Team Texas A&M
Top 20ish Mississippi State
Top 5-6 Georgia
Top 4 Alabama
Top 5-6 Georgia

Even with the 2 losses on the road it wont matter.

@ Top 2-3 Clemson
@ Top 20 LSU

We'll have played 6 ranked teams beating 4 of them with 3 top 5 wins. If we win out, we're in. No one would have that kind of overall resume' wins wise.

Lets see....
Clemson beats Miami by 1 in ACC title game...
Clemson in for sure
Wisconsin wins out and goes 13-0. They're in.
Oklahoma wins out and goes 12-1. They're in.

The question would be Miami vs Auburn. It would be extremely close.
