It's crazy, but we are very much in this thing. Today was a big day.I am not saying we deserve to be in the playoff but I really feel more and more a 2 loss team is going to get in the field this year at this point. Alabama simply beats Auburn and Georgia. Oklahoma does its thing and Miami Beats Clemson in the ACC title game and all of a sudden your gonna have a field of 2 loss teams in OSU, Georgia, Notre Dame, Clemson,TCU and others. Then your may have a 2 loss USC as a pac 12 champion verse a 2 loss Ohio State Big10 champion if conference titles are important. I think its at the point the committee is hoping there is an attractive 1 loss team like OSU was last that did not win a conference title to get that spot. As for those teams that are remaining they are Alabama, Georgia, Clemson, Miami, and Wisconsin.
I think so.Now, say Miami, Oklahoma, Bama and OSU win out out. Does OSU make it?
Probably not. I could see pretty much any 1 loss Power 5 team getting in over us, except Wisconsin if we beat them since they've played literally nobody all year.Say Oklahoma and Bama win out, but Clemson beats Miami. Does OSU make it?
USC and Ohio State could be in contention for last spot. My concern is Bama losing and giving the Sec two teams.In short: Bama wins out. Miami wins out. Oklahoma wins out. Ohio State wins out. There's your playoff.

Clemson Miami will be elimination game. I just hope the Sec title game is another.
If we win out I think there's about a 60% chance we are in.
Bama losing in SEC title game would be killer unless Auburn can give them a loss heading into it.
But ideally Bama wins out giving SEC 1 team.
Could get dicey but I belive Clemson vs Miami is an elimination game. Could almost be better if Clemson loses giving them two losses.
At this point we are Oklahoma fans IMO. Let them win Big 12 so it's a quality loss for us. We don't want to be in a resume contest with a two loss Oklahoma.
Obviously, if we beat Wisky we jump them. I don't see the PAC 12 champion getting in this year. Conference has been too weak.
Rankings after this week will be:
Alabama
Clemson
OU
Miami
Wisky
Auburn
Georgia
OSU
Not a bad place to be with a lot of football left and 2 losses. Auburn still has Bama. Georgia still has Bama. Miami and Clemson will knock each other off, and you never know how a semi-tough Gamecock squad could show in a rivalry game against Clemson.
And Mark Richt is still good for that inexplicable late season choke game. At Pitt on a really cold day could be interesting..hopefully it's -13 degrees.
There's still hope.....could be our LSU two loss year.

They don’t play until the title game. You made it sound like they play twice. I don’t think the Acc is geting two teams. I said I hope Bama does not lose. If they do the Sec is likely geting two teams in. Bama needs to win out.You say that but remember Ohio State was taken over a 2 loss conference champ last year.
Far more preferable for Miami to win out then sit out their title game with 1 loss.
The killer scenario would be for Miami to beat Clemson, and then have Clemson turn right around in the ACC title game and squeak one out against Miami.
So I agree with rob. Bama needs to win out, Oklahoma needs to win out. And Miami probably needs to win out. I dont have a ton of faith in Miami to beat Clemson
But either way it is most definitely not an elim. Game for Miami. They can lose that game, win the ACC title game, and theyd make it as a 1 loss conf. Champ. 100%
