Let's say things go pretty much "chalk" the rest of the year.
Clemson/ND win out, Clemson wins rematch 34-28
ALA/FLA win out, Fla wins 31-30
OSU/Wisconsin win out.
Oregon and SC win out, Oregon wins 27-20 in Pac champ.
You have...
Conference Champs
Clemson 10-1
Florida 9-1
Oregon 7-0
Undefeated
Ohio State 6-0
Wisconsin 6-0
Cincinnati 10-0
BYU 10-0
One Loss
Notre Dame 10-1
Alabama 10-1
Texas A&M 9-1
Southern Cal 6-1
WHO GETS IN?

Of the one loss group - I think you can eliminate T A&M and SC
How do you get OSU and Wisc to both 6-0?
In that scenario I think they go with Clemson, Florida, then 2 of ND, AL, OSU, Wisc, Or. That scenario would be a mess. As a Clemson fan I think we need to continue to pull for Miami and ND to win. If we were to get back to full strength and thoroughly defeat ND then that will likely cut into ND's chances in that scenario. Another nail biter that can go either way gives both teams a strong case to make the playoff. We have the upper hand with a neutral site win and title of conference champion.

You'd have the osu/wisky champ... They are having a champ game right? Anyway, imho, I just don't think you can assess the records on teams that didn't have to go through the riggers of a full season. A lot of what ifs there too. Because if Wisky has to cancel one more game, they won't get to play for a championship... And personally, I think they're one of the 4 best teams in the country. They found themselves a QB.
Final 4
Bama 11-1
Clemson 11-1
Wisconsin 7-0
Oregon 7-0 or 8-0 (can't recall)

Clemson
Ala. (SEC bias)
Fla.
OSU
Disappointed and rekindles the argument for 8 team play off:
ND
Wisc.
Ore.
BYU

expanded playoff considering that not all teams are playing a full schedule.
There is a lot more risk to playing a full 10 or 11 game season, compared to a 6-7 game season.
I don't think tOSU or even Alabama should be ranked ahead of Clemson at this point, the sample size is just too small.

teams who only play half a season like ohio state would get in over a notre dame or bama would be a disgrace ..not only would they be 6-0 odds are they would have only played two teams with a winning record to boot.
