Ohio ST has their destiny in their own hands, they finish the season with their last two games being home vs Mich St & @ Michigan, then they play the winner of the B1G west which could be a potential rematch vs Minnesota, or Wisky, Iowa screwed themselves out of the West by losing to Wisconsin. Mathematically they’re still in it but they most likely will miss out on winning the West.
Oklahoma has the toughest row to hoe, they have to play @ Baylor this Saturday, then Iowa St at home, then finish the season @ OK St for Bedlam, then for the Big XII title game will have to rematch with either Baylor or OK St.
Oregon has the easiest road to the playoffs, they play @ Washington, home vs Wazzu, @ Utah & home vs Oregon St, then get the winner of the PAC-12 South which will either be Utah or AZ St. the PAC-12 is a pure garbage conference right now, literally every team except for Oregon has a minimum of 4 or 5 losses. If they don’t make the playoffs it’ll be a colossal failure, they should breeze past the rest of the Pac-12.
UGA is a shoo-in, they don’t have any tough fights left & their only good opponent they play will be Bama in ATL for the SEC title game. But luckily for UGA & Bama, they’ve gerrymandered the system so that regardless of the outcome of their game in the SEC championship match, both teams will still make the playoffs. Because the furthest either one can drop is to #2 for UGA if they lose to Bama & #4 for Bama if they lose to UGA.
Cincinnati’s toughest game left will be SMU at home which they should win & then they get Houston in the AAC championship game, but there’s no scenario where they’ll make the playoffs even if they go undefeated. Unfortunately for them the committee just don’t give AF about G5 schools.
Wake Forest isn’t gonna go undefeated, they’ll drop one of these last 4 games they play, but even then they’ll still win the ACC regardless of who they play in the ACCCG from the Corstal.
Mich St had a good run, but their season will come tumbling down once they matchup with Oh St @ The Shoe.
