Being slotted at #4 now...I can't see any credible way that they could end the season with one loss, winning the Pac12 Championship game against a top 10 Colorado team, and drop down, especially below a team that is not even in their conference championship game and is sitting at home watching.

Michigan needs at least one loss from the 1-4 to have a shot, in my mind...actually 2-4, I think Alabama could lose their championship game this weekend and still be #1 in the playoff race, there would be no undefeated teams and they would be the best one loss team.

Clemson losing is probably the best bet for a whole host of teams, besides the Dawgs losing...but I think I am in full support of the 1-4 all winning convincingly and the playoff slots not changing between now and Sunday evening.

Fish on...

Edit: I forgot that Ohio State doesn't even play, so of course it would have to be Clemson and/or Washington to lose in order for Michigan, Penn State, Wisconsin, Colorado, Oklahoma, or whoever to sneak into the playoffs.
