Bama 1st in the event of Wisky or OU loss.

If both Wisky and OU lose then the commitee must pick 1 team from the following pool of 2 loss team or teams with a weak SOS.
SEC Runner Up(Potentional 3 loss AU), ACC runner up , OSU, OU, TCU, PSU, Wisky, UCF.

This.

This ain't rocket science.

Agreed - the scenario is pretty simple. CFP committee is probably praying for chalk right now so they don't have to deal with the fallout of the spurned fanbases all crying that they deserve the fourth spot.

Also, don't forget USC, they will also be in the discussion in that apocalypse scenario.

He didn't mean it as in we finish 6. He meant it to see how we progressively make it back into the top 4.

Something not really discussed is what happens if the sec champ game is a real close one? Say OT?

That's the only way I think we don't get in by having a close win against Clemson and sec some classic game going to OT.

That'll make it close then bc uga beat ND like we did. And then the beloved one loss Bama with their history.

Only way, other than that if we win we in baby! I'll be there hoping and expecting that outcome!

its this simple, we beat the defending national champs who beat bama last year we are in. i dont care what anyone says.

clemsons loss is as bad as ours. cuse is terrible. pitt almost beat va tech and unc who finally found a qb 8 games in.

bama doesnt have a bad loss or a good win.

we beat clemson who beat auburn how the f would we ever be left out.

Agreed. Remember that if/when we beat Clemson, they beat Auburn, who in turn beat Bama.

Go back and read what I posted after that. I never said we would end up 6th if we beat Clemson. I was merely walking you through each game. The very next sentence I said we would jump the loser of Auburn and UGA. I never said we would finish out of the top 4, I only said that the debate would be between us and Alabama. This of course is based on he ESPN Power Rankings, which is all we have right now.
 
I always hope for both Alabama and Ohio State to be out. Our loss to Pittsburgh was so annoying in that regard because we could have helped make it happen. As Herbstreit said last week, a 1 loss Miami team but with that defeat to Clemson still had a big chance at remaining in the final four. Now it can't happen and Alabama is the potential beneficiary, depending on what happens in the Big 12 and Big 10 title games.

I always prefer to look at the big picture as opposed to specifics. If someone had told me prior to the season that Alabama would suffer only 1 regular season defeat, I would fully expect that team to be included in the playoffs. Right now I still think it will happen. Ohio State is a 6 point favorite over Wisconsin.

BTW, the Canes are 7.5 point underdog to Clemson. Seems light. I expected 9 or 10. It opened 6.5 in some spots before being pushed up. I thought they would give Clemson at least 1.5 points for home field influence, given the site and ease of fan access.

I didn't see any mention of that pointspread here. The guys who look for the numbers and post them here apparently are waiting for the typical time slot on Sunday afternoon. Nope, that doesn't apply to special circumstances. In my decades in Las Vegas I always had to be aware of situational influence and when the numbers would go up from joint to joint.

Sure these rankings mean nothing, but ESPN typically does a fair job ranking teams. I don't see the CFP Rankings being much different.

1) Clemson
2) Oklahoma
3) Wisconsin
4) Auburn
5) Alabama
6) Georgia
7) Miami
8) TCU
9) UCF
10) Ohio State

Based off of these rankings you can eliminate every school below Miami from jumping Miami. Both TCU and Ohio State have 2 losses, and despite the love affair with Ohio State, Wisconsin being ranked 3 is good for us. I suppose if Ohio State blows them out then it's possible, but I think we are good.

If we beat Clemson then we are 6th (follow me here). The loser of Auburn vs Georgia moves behind us, which puts us at 5th. If Ohio State plays a close one with Wisconsin and doesn't destroy them than I don't think they jump us. If Wisconsin wins then a 0 percent chance we jump them. What we need is for Ohio State or TCU to win, but not by a large margin. (Unless we blow out Clemson)

Alabama is difficult to predict. They don't have any games left, so no more quality wins for them. The playoff committee is not the BCS, so there is no point system. It really comes down to whether they believe we are better than Alabama. If we blow out Clemson then we are in. If we don't blow out Clemson then it could be close.

No more games for Alabaga, so no quality wins period! Their claim to fame this season were beating LSU and Mississippi State who laid an egg against Ole Miss yesterday in their bowl.
We win and we should be in!

If OU loses then you have a BIG12 Champion in TCU. I don't think TCU get's in above us though. I think the BIG 12 is likely out if OU loses.

If Oklahoma and Wisky lose, both those conferences should be eliminated; but that's where it gets fun. You'd have the ACC and SEC winners, Bama and a bunch of 2 loss teams. Georgia (if they lose), OSU, winner of Pac12 and ACC loser in that order

The Clemson/Miami is now... Clemson - 8 1/2. I, also, expect it to move to - 11 1/2 by game day. Especially with Herndon being put on IR. hUh.

We need Oklahoma to win, Wisconsin to win, and Georgia to win and give Auburn it’s 3rd lose so Alabama’s lose looks worst and we need to beat Clemson period.
Top4#1Oklahoma
#2Georgia or
#3wisconsin
#4Miami and we won’t have to worry about Bama cause they have no games left.

So Miami wins, whether close or not, they would have legitimately beat three top 15 teams, including the #1 team in the nation, defending national champions, and you still put 2 SEC teams, a Big 12, and Big 10 ahead of the ACC. Man, you know how much **** there would be. Bama will only have won against two ranked teams, and that's assuming MSU is still ranked after this week, leaving, LSU as the only quality win.

Now do i put it pass the committee to pull some bull**** like that, no, but that should upset every college football fan if that was to happen, including our rivals.

Haven't U heard the news today? Approximately 85% of the college football realm shares a collective deep-seated ANIMOSITY against Miami. That includes a majority, but not all, of the college football media-nexus. ( Telly, print and radio. ). So our rivals and other college football fans would absolutely be happy to see conference champion Miami sitting at No. 5 when the final CFP rankings are announced this coming Sunday.
 
If Auburn, TCU, and OSU win it’s going to be total Chaos and Alabama will sneak in. If Oklahoma,Georgia or Wisconsin lose the door will be open for Alabama and even Ohio St. since they beat wisky
