Message: [QUOTE="BlazeOrange, post: 1110336, member: 683"] Based on pre-season rankings, the B1G is out but has two teams close in case one of the top four slips up. The PAC and SEC also have teams poised to move up too. Most likely, one of Alabama, Auburn, and South Carolina will make it. The question is what teams would beat out the second of those three teams if their only loss was to one of the others in the trio? Things could play out differently, but you're basically looking at Ohio State/Mich. State, UCLA, Clemson, and/or Baylor to get or hold their conferences spot in the playoffs vs. a 2nd SEC team. Here's the USA Today preseason rankings - the AP isn't significantly different.
