With just the conference championship games left, it seems like we are realistically down to six teams that can make the College Football Playoff with two others way outside the cut line that would only be considered if there is a total meltdown of historic proportions.
We’re at the point where only Georgia is safely in, with two teams that control their destiny in Alabama and Michigan. The third tier of teams includes Oklahoma State and Cincinnati, which must win their conference championship games and root for Georgia to beat Alabama. That’s by far the most likely composition of the four-team playoff.
