The obvious top 3 are LSU,OSU and Clemson. If all 3 win out they will occupy the top 3 spots in some order.
If Clemson and OSU win out and an 11-1 Georgia beats a 12-0 LSU in The SECCG, LSU will be the 4th team.
If one of Oregon, Oklahoma or PSU win out, that team will get in if LSU beats Georgia. If OSU goes 12-0 then loses to PSU in Their conference title game, they should get in if Georgia loses, but Bama took the spot in 2017 when a 12-1 Wisconsin team deserved it in my opinion, so who knows how that would play out.

If my Dawgs lose another game we will be out, I would agree with the decision. If any of Oregon, Oklahoma or PSU lose another game, they're out as well.

Best guess, who gets in ?

I would enjoy seeing either Clemson or LSU crush bama.

Again.

Well until LSU is In, I am hoping they get 1 of the 4 spots. Now, my opinion is that if LSU wins these next 2 games vs. Arkansas and Texas A&M, both at home, I think LSU is in. Now, assuming LSU 12-0 going into SEC title game vs. UGA, I hope they win that one as well.

PSU n Ohio St are in the same division.

One will play Minnesota or Wisconsin I believe.

If Utah and Oklahoma will out I think the PAC gets in because they haven’t been represented.

I don’t believe it will be the best 4 teams

No one is guaranteed a spot at this point.

LSU would be 12-1 and by far be the best 1 loss team in the country other than Georgia.

You are trolling if you think otherwise. Wins over Auburn, Florida, Alabama, loss to Georgia. Nobody has close to that resume. They would be significantly ahead of Oklahoma, Oregon, Utah or Alabama.

Milk. Coincidentally I'm eating a bowl of cereal with MILK in it, weird right ?
Anywho, my bad on not considering PSU is in the same division as OSU, I am shamed. I agree if Oregon wins out they would get in over Oklahoma.

It makes sense but still a 1L P5 Champion would have arguments.

I am going by the 100% black and white facts of what the committee has done every year of its existence, sorry you hate facts. They could deviate from what they've done every year thus far, I have no way of knowing that. I also never said they'd aboslutley be out because i agree wiht you, they are clearly the best team right now and would have one of if not the best resumes. All I'm saying is that history has shown us that a grand total of zero teams have failed to win their conference and still gone to the plyaoffs over a team with less than 2 losses. Never happened. That's what I'm saying, that it's not a slam dunk.

Let's assume OSU and Clemson are shoe-ins, along with a 1 loss sec champ uga (in this scenario). You'd have:

1-loss Big 12 champ
1-los Pac 12 champ
1-loss nonchampion LSU

It's not a gimme at all for LSU to go

I agree if LSU finishes 12-1 while losing to Georgia they will in all likelihood get in based on strength of schedule, which will be by far the best in the contenders.

Assuming LSU beats UGA (which I do assume), if OU wins out, they'll get in.

I think the decision between tehm and whatever 1-loss team (oregon or utah) that wins the pac12 would be interesting

Not a shot at UGA but if yall would have beat S Car we wouldn't even have to worry about the SECCG. Both teams could win out then see which team has the best 2s and 3s

They'll put the 4 best teams in - forget "most deserving" -- the 4 best teams just like they always do. Bama still has a very good shot of getting in.

The contenders are

Georgia (if they beat LSU)
Penn State (if they beat Ohio State and Minnesota)

If they don't ..

A Tua less Alabama
Oregon/Utah winner
Oklahoma if they get past Baylor again

I think the more interesting scenario is what if Clemson gets upset in the ACC CG.
