#1. Bama. Even though auburn can compete with them, I see no reason why they won't be 13-0 when the final rankings come out
#2. Ohio St OR Michigan winner (unless somehow penn st/Wisconsin wins the B1G championship with 2 losses and in that case they would finish in the #3 or 4 spot)
#3. Clemson as long as we win out
#4. 11-1 Louisville OR Washington if they win out and win PAC 12. The committee won't leave out a 1 loss conference champion.
So basically, it's down to only 8 teams who have a realistic shot to get in. Bama, B1G winner (Michigan, Ohio st, penn st, or Wisconsin), Clemson, Washington, Louisville.

Keep in mind that if Penn State wins out (Rutgers and Michigan State), Ohio State WILL NOT be in the B1G championship game (regardless of whether they beat Michigan). What could really muddy the water is if OSU wins out and Penn State wins out AND wins the B1G Conference Championship. What are the odds the CFP committee moves Penn State in the top 4 as a 2-loss Conference Champion, and also puts OSU in?

Barring a big upset of Penn St, OSU can't win the B1G so in the event

that they do beat Michigan, we will very likely see Wisconsin or PSU win the conference.

and my question above remains... in that scenario, does the 2-loss B1G champ (PSU or UW) get in along with OSU?

If OSU is 2 now and beats #3 in a couple of weeks how do you leave them out?

If Wisconsin were to win the conference there's a good chance OSU will own wins over the Big XII and B1G champs, both on the road. Add the win over #3 Michigan and the nuclear bombing of Nebraska and they have maybe the best wins in all of CFB. I would put them in ahead of 12-1 Washington in that scenario. Hell they should be in ahead of Wisconsin as well.
