I suspect if Alabama wins a tight game versus Georgia and either FSU or WSH lose, they’ll both make it. Not saying I agree with that, but it’ll probably happen. Leaving Michigan v Georgia and whoever wins between FSU/WSH v Alabama. OSU/ORE/TEX would likely get fucked.
I really thought OSU had a better chance, but it appears that line of thinking was wrong, but if you stack up a one loss OSU/ORE/TEX you could certainly make a strong case for OSU.
OSU two big wins versus highly ranked teams, one a big non-conference road game and the best loss by far of the three. Late loss and no conference title big negatives.
TEX a conference champion, a monster non-conference win at Alabama, the best win of the three. Only negative is losing their marquee conference game.
ORE a conference champion and biggest accomplishment is splitting two games with WSH. Negatives also losing their marquee conference game and terrible non-conference schedule. Best non-conference win was a nail bitter at six loss Texas Tech, who lost by half a hundred to Texas.
