Looks like Oklahoma and Georgia are in. If Wisconsin wins they’re in. Does it matter who wins out of Miami vs Clemson?

No. One loss ACC Champ is in.

Wisconsin wins, Bama is out. I believe Bama would get in over OSU unless they beat Wisconsin pretty bad

agree....Bama's only shot is for OSU to pull the upset. Then the committee debates a 2 loss Conf Champ OSU vs a 1 loss Bama.

Huh? Ohio State has been favored by 6-8 points.

Alabama should be out of it.

Bama, as it turns out, was not all that good this year. Bama is 3rd in the SEC this year, at best. The Red Elephant has been eliminated.

A Wisconsin win
If Ohio St blows out Wisconsin, MAYBE they get the nod over bama

If Ohio State ends up blowing out Wisconsin, they clearly should be in CFP over Bama because they would have better signature wins than Bama, whose two "best" wins were against 3- and 4-loss teams.

I think the Auburn loss to Georgia by 21 pts sealed Alabama's chances even if Ohio State wins but who knows. Prior to Aurbun loss I felt that if Ohio State won, Alabama could get in but now, I think Ohio State would edge them out IF they beat Wisky.

I think if Miami wins Bama is in...and if Ohio State wins Bama is in.
Georgia vs Bama would make a great storyline with Smart being on Saban's staff.

Ohio State had quality wins. Put 2 SEC teams in during a down year would cause real push back in general
But the SOB announcers talk Saban, AL, etc

Not sure an OSU win would get them in. If Auburn had won, probably but not now. They lost to the 2nd best team in the conference by 2 tds.

Clemson, Oklahoma and Georgia are in. Last spot will go to Ohio State, USC or Alabama. I think Ohio State gets it personally but i would rather see USC in there.

OSU and USC are out if the committee adheres to the 2-loss precedent. In that case, it has to decide between Alabama and Wisconsin. Alabama would get in based on overall resume, but the committee would encounter vitriolic backlash by including two teams from the same conference. Wisconsin would resolve the geographic parity issue. Despite Wisky's weak schedule, their only loss is to a conference champion, and only by six points.
