Peach Bowl: (1) Alabama vs. (4) LSU
Fiesta Bowl: (2) Ohio State vs. (3) Clemson
Cotton Bowl: UGA vs. Cincy
Orange Bowl: Auburn vs. Wake Forest
Rose Bowl: Oregon vs. Penn State
Sugar Bowl: Florida vs. Oklahoma
Reminder of the Tie-Ins
Rose: BigTen vs. PAC-12
Sugar: SEC vs. BigXII
Orange: ACC vs. BigTen OR SEC OR Notre Dame
Cotton: no tie-in
Every year the G5 team is forced to go to the Peach, Fiesta, or Cotton. Since the Peach and Fiesta are the semifinals, that means they are going to the Cotton.
What happened this week:
Oklahoma threw a major wrench into the projections this week. They certainly could run the table the rest of the way and get into the CFP, but not if the same team shows up as yesterday.
Oregon escaped with a win vs. WSU. Given some of the upcoming opponents, it's difficult to see the Ducks running the table.
This opens things up nicely for the SEC, who now is projected to have 2 teams in the CFP.
Notre Dame got bitchslapped by Michigan. Certainly it is feasible for Notre Dame to drop another game this season, knocking them out of the NY6 picture.
This opens things up in the Orange Bowl. The ACC continues to look like utter garbage after Clemson, but someone in the ACC will have to be selected to the Orange Bowl, even if none are ranked. But who will the ACC opponent play?
As we can see above, the ACC rep has to play a BigTen or Notre Dame or an SEC team. I think it will be very close between a BigTen team (Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota) or Auburn, but ultimately Auburn takes it.
As always, feel free to comment on the above projections, or better yet...post your own.
