Ohio State, Michigan, Clemson, FSU, Alabama, LSU, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Texas.

IMO it's fewer teams than this. Since the CFP's inception in 2014, only four teams have won the chip:

2014 Ohio St
2015 Alabama
2016 Clemson
2017 Alabama
2018 Clemson
2019 LSU

I would incude only Ohio St, Clemson, Alabama, LSU, Auburn, Florida, Georgia and Oklahoma. Notre Dame hasn't won a chip since Lou Holtz in 1988 and has only been in the chip game since in 1990 and 2012. Michigan hasn't been in the chip game since the BCS era and last won a natty in 1997. I see Texas and FSU on a downward trend - similar to Nebraska - from which they will never fully recover.
