Regardless, if these 3 teams somehow finish the year only losing to one another, its going to be pretty difficult for the committee to not take at least 2 SEC teams. Only if the conference champion of one of the other Power leagues is undefeated does it sort itself out.

OSU last year had this scenario and didn't get in, and got passed by a 2 loss conference champ in fact. The system is designed to get 0 or 1 loss conference champs in. The problem is, and always has been, you don't know which conferences are good until the end of the season, when you can't rearrange the playoff field. The system is probably as good as it can be for 4 teams in, but it's not perfect by any stretch

I honestly think there is a better then decent chance that we get a 1 loss team out of Big 10 this year and they go. I just think that the top of the league is so much better then the bottom of the league that one team will sneak its way through.

If I had to make a guess it will be the PAC 12 that cannibalizes itself this year. There are some very good teams in there, perhaps too many. No team really stands out head and shoulders above the rest so I think you get a two loss PAC 12 champion who is left sitting on the sideline.

And probably absolutely mauls some team in a bowl game.

My guess is the ACC champ, the Big 10 champ, the SEC champ, and whatever school crawls out on top of the Big 12 mess and gets obliterated in the playoffs.
