Lets look at the current top 10 teams and who they have left to play.

1. Clemson: FSU, @Syracuse, Wake Forest, @ South Carolina. ACC Championship game against
North Carolina, Pitt or Duke
With Golston out and Dalvin Cook has a tweaked ankle this is a very winnable game and
easiest schedule left for any team in current top 10.
I don't see Clemson losing a game.
Best win ND at home

2.LSU: @Alabama, Ark, @Miss, Texas A&M. Possible rematch against Florida for SEC Championship.
Brutal schedule and a lot of scenarios.
I could see them dropping one of these games. If their is a 3 way tie between LSU, Alabama & Ole Miss.
Who's get in? Highest ranked?
Best win: Florida

3. OSU: Minnesota, @ ILL, MSU, @ Michigan Possible BIG Championship against Iowa.
Another easy schedule Herbstreit. Oh I forgot, can't talk bad about alma mater. Check!
If they can beat Michigan then it's on like Donkey Kong!
Best win: @VT

4.Alabama: LSU,@Miss St. Charlotte Southern(cupcake),@Auburn
They lost at home, How is this possible?
They will need help to get to SEC Championship game.
If they don't win championship game they don't deserve to be in. End of story...
Best Win: Wisconsin Neutral field.


5.Notre Lame: @Pitt, Wake Forest, BC, @Stanford.
A little surprised their this high, but they love them some domers.
Lets hope Pitt or Stanford send them packing.
Best win:GT

6.Baylor: @KSU, Oklahoma, @Okie St. @TCU, Texas
How are they even this high? Hey Herbstreit, have you looked at this schedule. Now that's embarrassing!
After Seth Russell's injury, I see possible 2 to 3 losses in their horizon.
Bye, Bye Bears.
Best Win: They don't have any worthy opponents to mention.

7. MSU: @ Neb., MD, @OSU, PSU.
I don't see Sparty winning out. They have played all their games way too tight.
They will lose at OSU.
Thanks for coming...
Best Win @Michigan on a fluke play

8.TCU: @Okie St.,KU, @Oklahoma, Baylor,
TCU will have to win out to have a shot to get in, I don't see any Big 12 team making the playoff.
Best Win @Minnesota

9.IOWA: @IU, Goofs, Purdont @ Pinkshirts. OSU/Michigan winner in BIG Championship game.
I just noticed that Minnesota will have played Michigan, OSU and Iowa in a row. Ouch!
Best win: @Wisky

10. Florida: Vandy, @SC, FAU, FSU, SEC West winner in SEC Championship game.
They lost their starting QB to PEDS, so these early wins I take with a grain of salt.
They have a pretty easy schedule up to championship game.
Best win: Miss

Clemson, Iowa & Florida have the easiest roads to the playoff.
Noticed their aren't any PAC 12 teams hmm...
Even if Stanford wins out, I don't see them getting in.
Big 12 Champion would get in before them. Oklahoma or Okie St could be sleepers....

I will be rooting for LSU & Pitt this weekend. I'm sick of the blue bloods getting ranked because of Name on jersey, then actual results on the field!
