[QUOTE="doneagain, post: 131079449, member: 1396145"] Ohio State has looked like the best team all season with consistent play each week in all three phases of the game. Clemson looks better lately than the did the first part of the season, and despite not playing anyone, they will get in where other 1-loss teams that did play someone will get left out. I believe 1-loss teams Alabama, Georgia, Oregon, Oklahoma, Penn State and even with two losses - Michigan the way they are playing right now - could finish undefeated with Clemson’s schedule. But probably at least 4 of those 6 will be excluded from the playoffs. Georgia is the highest ranked 1-loss team in the country, but they also have the worst loss of any 1-loss team. But Georgia and LSU will probably play each other in the SEC title game and the winner is in the playoffs, so they both control their own destiny. Oregon or Utah will have a shot at 12-1, but will the committee select a 12-1 Utah over a 12-1 Oklahoma that have just beaten a 1-loss Baylor likely in the B12 title game? Oregon probably gets in over Oklahoma, but Utah doesn’t have the same brand recognition as Oregon. Oklahoma could be coming off a season ending back to back wins over top 25 Ok State and Baylor. Still a lot that can happen. This year it is hard to say who the top 4 will be when the final rankings come out. [/QUOTE]
