If MSU loses, that means Iowa wins and gets in. If Clemson loses a close game, I think they still get in. If they get blown out, then UNC will get in. If Bama loses, Ohio State will get in.

Who gets in if Bama, Clemson, and MSU all lose?

MSU and Iowa are a defacto playoff game. Winner is in for sure.

If Bama and Clemson both lose, would think Ohio State is certain to be in the top 4 then. Can't see Bama getting a bid with two losses, especially since they will have lost at home (to Ole Miss) and on a neutral field as a 17 point favorite. Then, you would have to pick between UNC and Clemson. If UNC won on a last minute fluke hail mary or kick six, maybe Clemson still gets a bid. If UNC wins by two TDs, I think they get spot no. 4.

If Bama wins, but Clemson loses, that is the really tough call between Ohio State, Clemson and UNC for the 4th spot.

UNC lost to USC and played two 1-AA teams this year. What about Stanford?

I don't think UNC should get in, but I just have this feeling the committee will position them tomorrow night so they can make that leap if they win big against Clemson.
