Teams that control their destiny:
UGA
Ohio State
TCU
USC
Michigan
LSU
Teams needing losses with a chance:
Tennessee
Clemson
UNC?
Georgia and Ohio State could lose 1 and still get in. Rest out with another loss.

Michigan is going to steamroll Ohio State

Michigan will barely lose to Ohio St and get in.
TCU has a loss coming.
Final CFP will be
1) Ga
2) Ohio St
3) Tenn
4) Mich

That’s the best case for the Big 10. They will justify putting in 1 loss OSU.

Agreed

w/ the PAC likely out of it at this point I think Carolina prolly makes it at 12-1 w/ wins over Clemson, Wake, and State

Michigan has a chance of getting in with a close loss to Overrated State, and vice versa.
So you can really say there are 3 teams with a possible mulligan. Georgia is a lock win or lose if the PAC-10/12/whatever implodes or TCU loses. That’s of course assuming they’re undefeated going into the SECCG, which I think is about the safest bet ever.

I don't think it's a guaranteed win and in for LSU. It might work out that way, even if everyone else relevant keeps winning.

If Georgia loses the SECCG, the committee will put an 11-1 Tennessee team in over LSU. We've seen this happen twice now.
I don't see a way for LSU to make it without TCU, Clemson, and USC falling apart

I don’t think so. Their SOS is bad and getting worse.

Michigan might win but it will be close. But I doubt they do because they got their 1 win per decade and now it is back to normal.
I still believe the 4 best teams are Ohio State, Georgia, Michigan, and Tennessee. Those 4 would slaughter the next 4 in the cfp poll.

There is no doubt in my mind that those are the four best and most complete teams on both sides of the ball.

The value the committee puts on conference championships is heavy. Especially winning the toughest conference and what would be a 7 game win streak. I think LSU gets the look.

This can't all be true.
You have six teams listed that control their own destinies, meaning that no matter what happens, they're in if they win. You have four spots and two sets of teams that play each other, so that all works out.
But, if Georgia and Ohio State can both lose a game and still make the playoffs, doesn't that necessarily mean some of the others don't control their own destinies? What happens if Michigan beats Ohio State and LSU beats Georgia? Which teams that "control their own destinies" are you leaving out?

In no universe does UT get in when UGA doesn't. Head to head matters when the teams have the same record and neither wins the conference

I believe the final four will be
UGA
Ohio State
TCU
USC

Ohio State
TCU
USC

Why I said OSU and Georgia COULD get in with loss. They would no longer be in control. Would depend on outcome of others.

While this might be true, I disagree. Here is a logical argument for LSU.
First, consider conference records only. Despite the loss to Tennessee, if LSU wins the SECCG, there is no doubt that based on conference accomplishments, LSU rates higher than Tennessee. So when you consider non conference accomplishments, is Tennessee’s OT win over a mediocre Pitt worth more than LSU’s 1-pt loss to top-20 Florida State? Is it worth SO MUCH more that it counterbalances LSU’s championship? I think not. LSU, should we win in ATL, will be rated higher than Tenn.

I don't think it is though
2016- Penn State won Big Ten (11-2), defeated Ohio State. Ohio State gets in with an 11-1 record.
Different situation in 2017, but committee still valued that 11-1 record over a Big Ten champion Ohio State with two losses
