Only like 14 teams control their own destiny for the playoff

[rmilia1]

FSU, Oklahoma, Baylor, Nebraska, ND, Oregon, UCLA, A&M, Bama, Auburn, Miss State, OLe Miss, GT and Arizona

Pretty much everyone else needs help IMO. Rank these teams 1-14 in order of MOST likely to make the playoff to least likely.

FSU, Oklahoma, Baylor, Nebraska, ND, Oregon, UCLA, A&M, Bama, Auburn, Miss State, OLe Miss, GT and Arizona

The bold will at least be cut in half because they play another team on the list.

With that in mind, here's who I think can go undefeated.

FSU
Bama
Baylor! (yes I think they can beat Oklahoma on the road )
and Oregon

I should add, that I think the least likely of these to go undefeated is baylor and most likely is FSU.

 

[7NationalChampionships]

Wait...Nebraska is undefeated? You would never know that by listening to the Husker Hooplans.

 

[rmilia1]

I forgot TCU, I suppose they control their own destiny as well.

TCU might be one of the few teams who might be able to stop baylor. They play excellent defense and they played them close in waco last year.

Alabama
Oregon
Oklahoma
Notre Dame(I think they knock off FSU)

In descending order, the winner of four of these five brackets will make up the playoffs.

FSU/ND...one of these two wins out. Most likely FSU

Baylor/Oklahoma...Big 12 is a little crazy sometimes but I will go with Oklahoma, although a stupid loss to somebody they should beat seem the norm.

Oregon/UCLA Winner could have to win twice including CCG...hard to pull off.

A&M/Bama/Auburn...tough but going with my homies...think it will come down to the iron bowl.

Nebraska/Mich St. If Nebraska wins Saturday I think they have a good shot. Got to avoid the stupid loss though. Mich St. could still run the table and get a bid depending on other losses...but I would say unlikely.

Almost no chance:

Ole Miss, Mrs St., Arizona, GT, TCU

So FSU, Oklahoma, Oregon, and Alabama make the playoffs.

you cant control destiny

[hatcher3333]

my team could win out and make it. Not likely gonna happen but I would say they control their own destiny.

 

[tech_iceman]

The best thing is that almost all of those teams will play at one other from the same list before the season is over

I almost included UGA BUT even if they win out and FSU, Oregon, Nebraska and Oklahoma are unbeaten I dont think UGA makes it so they dont really control their own destiny at least IMO

Ha. Watch a one loss sec champ uga get in over an undefeated nu.
I say there's a 50-50 chance of that.

Honestly in that scenario Nebraska probably has a worse resume than Georgia BUT has a better one than FSU. Now thatd be inbteresting. Undefeated defending champ left out?? LOL

Undefeated ATM/AU/Bama
Undefeated OK/Baylor
Undefeated Oregon/UCLA
Undefeated FSU/ND
Undefeated NU

Who (in your opinion) goes and who does not? (This assumes that conference championships are the first requirement for the playoffs except for ND)
Would it matter which team won their conference, or would just winning the conference be enough?
IE... Would it matter if the Pac winner was UCLA or Oregon, or would they be interchangeable?
