Only conference I see getting 2 teams potentially is the SEC, and that’s probably only if a one-loss Georgia or Florida defeats an undefeated Alabama in the SEC championship game. The Pac 12 will be lucky to get 6 games in, so Oregon or USC will have to be awfully impressive to make their case.

The way its shaked out this season, I think it's extremely likely that the runner ups in the SEC and ACC have 2 losses.

The ACC could easily have 2 teams. They have 3 of the top 5 right now. Also Clemson and UNC don't play each other in the regular season.

Also, does anyone else find it odd that we passed Penn State in the AP poll despite neither of us playing this weekend? They were 2 spots ahead of us last week.

i actually don't know how "easily" it would be to have two ACC teams in the playoffs. i can only see two scenarios that would have two ACC teams (undefeated Clemson and one-loss UNC/undefeated UNC and one-loss Clemson). As an aside, there is a third scenario that involves ND and Clemson splitting the regular season and championship rematch but i highly doubt two one-loss ACC teams getting playoff berths.

i think any undefeated p5 team will get the benefit of the doubt, especially if UNC beats Clemson; so a lot of this will depend on the rest of the CFB landscape but i think "easily" is the opposite of how i would characterize the ACC's path to getting two teams into the playoffs.
