Is it safe to say that there will be no Pac 12 team in the CFP this year? As of right now, the highest ranked Pac 12 team are the USC Trojans at #11. Then you have Washington and Washington State at #14 and #15 respectively. USC is in the Pac 12 title game and they will face either Stanford or Washington State. Washington is not eligible to win the division because of their loss to Stanford earlier this year. Barring any upsets, seems the only games that would benefit Pac 12 teams are the other conference championship games. All of the other conference championship games will put 2 top 10 teams against each other.
Miami vs. Clemson
Georgia vs. Bama/Auburn winner
Wisconsin vs. Ohio State
Oklahoma vs. TCU/Oklahoma State
Are there any real scenarios where a Pac 12 team makes the CFP this year? Does USC HAVE to win the Pac 12 title in order for the Pac 12 to have it's best bet at a playoff team? Do scenarios like this call for an expansion of the playoff? Like, for instance, all 5 conference champs have a spot and the 6th team is the highest ranked non Power 5 conference champion?
