Lots of football left to be played but these final weeks are where some shake up can occur prior to conference championships.
Looks like OSU is playing Penn State and @ Michigan, both games at noon. I think they'll drop one of those.
I don't see Clemson dropping the game to SC with all the turmoil there.
Oregon and Utah should win out.
OU may have an issue with Ok State, but not likely.
If all remains status quo to Conf Champ games -
1. OSU and Clemson will be in.
2. If UGA beats LSU, it's then 1. OSU 2. Clemson 3. UGA
3. The 4th spot is the HUGE question mark (LSU, Bama, Oregon/Utah, OU)
Many more scenarios out there if OSU loses a game, but wins conference, or OSU loses a game and or conf.
Good stuff.

Everyone (well, most everyone but all lsu fans) is hellbent on assuming LSU gets the 4th spot if they lose to us but I'm really not so sure. It would truly be the first time it's happened so until it actually does happen for the first time I wouldn't be so sure on predicting it. The committee has proven time and time again it HIGHLY values conference championships. I think it's a given OSU and Clemson are in at this point. If we beat LSU we're obviouly in so your 4th spot would be between
1-loss Pac12 champion (oregon or utah)
1-loss Big12 champion (OU or baylor)
1-loss LSU that did not win their conference
It wouldn't necessarily shock me if they did make it in but they'd have a whale of a decision to make. This is completely and totally irrelevant to the decision-making process, but IMO I would also think that deep down inside the committee would really rather not have 2 teams form the same conference. And at least in 2017 you could get away with it because the 2 teams hand't played that season. In this case you'd have UGA beating LSU in early December then playing them again a month later...how is that fair?

Ohio State is going to crush Penn State and then beat Michigan and Minnesota fairly easily.

In this situation I think it's going to depend on how we play against LSU. If it's a very hard fought, close scoring game I believe LSU will get 4th spot based on strength of schedule. If we wipe the floor with them (unlikely) then it will be interesting.

I think it depends on the score. If UGA boatraces them then their out. If it's a tight, one score game then they might slide in to that 4th slot.
