Ohio State is 5th in AP poll.  I'm guessing they will jump both TCU or USC if they lose.  They will have a better loss and better wins over both those schools.  Penn State being at 8 is really big in that equation and ND is still ranked as well. TCU will have lost to Kansas State and its best win is Texas.  I don’t think that is better than OSU without the conference championship to set them apart.

Depends. Kansas State is ranked #12 currently in the CFP poll but with 3 teams ahead of them losing, I could see them being in the Top-10. If TCU loses a close game against #9 Kansas State, I could still see them staying in the Top-4 even over Ohio State and Alabama.

TCU is still undefeated. Now if TCU already had 1-loss I'd probably agree. But Ohio State got blasted by Michigan at home and outside of Notre Dame and Penn State, they really weren't tested otherwise. TCU meanwhile had a stretch where they played 4 or 5 ranked teams in a row and they already beat Kansas State earlier in the year (October)

It'd be an interesting debate but I think there's a reason most people are saying it's a virtual lock for Georgia, Michigan AND TCU. If TCU loses by double-digits then that probably changes but even a close loss might see them through

We only have the AP poll right now to go on, but KSU and Texas are the only teams ranked that TCU played.  They played FCS Tarleton, a middle tier AAC school in SMU, and one of the worst teams in FBS in Colorado.  I don't think the extra game really matters all that much without them having the conference title.  I just don't see TCU being ahead of Ohio State at 4.  Now if USC loses and it is 3 and 4, I could see TCU at 3 and OSU at 4 as the committee might want to avoid the immediate rematch between OSU and Michigan, but at 4 I think OSU would get the nod even with the embarrassing home loss to Michigan.

So this year if they had 12 and assuming no major upsets

the 4 byes would be Georgia, Michigan, TCU, USC

The next 2 best champs are the winners of Clemson/North Carolina and Tulane/Central Florida (they'd be the 12th seed)

An upset by Purdue would move Clemson into the bye line if they beat UNC (and Purdue would probably be the 12th seed with the AAC champ as the 11th), but I suspect KSU, Utah, or LSU would all jump Clemson (even assuming they beat UNC).  A Clemson loss and they are probably out, though UNC would still be in, though may be behind the AAC champ as they are currently 23rd behind both Tulane 18 and UCF 22. 

The title games though if the favorites all win, could absolutely affect the bottom of the bracket as I think only the top 4 and the next 4 i.e. Ohio State, Alabama, Tennessee, and Penn State would be locks to stay in the top 12 regardless of results.  Those final 2 spots could be very interesting between Kansas State, Utah, Washington, and Florida State.  By virtue of a conference title game loss, do KSU and Utah drop out of the playoff that they'd currently be in?

Sucks we have to wait 2 more years for this.  It'd be pretty darn cool to have it now.

Cade McNamara is transferring to Iowa.  Considering how awful their offense has been it is probably a poor choice of destinations by him.

And just as I post 53 yard TD run for Utah.  Should be out of reach now.  Looks like the Buckeyes are back in unless something really crazy happens.

I'll be pretty salty if an Alabama team with two losses and no significant wins manages to back into the playoff.

I knew OSU was going to backdoor their way into the playoffs.  I expect them to win it all.

Speaking of backdooring, I just backdoored into my futures bet of Utah winning the PAC-12 I made back in August!

Woohoo!!
