If I liked to bet money, I would bet its

Alabama
Clemson
Notre Dame
Oklahoma

in that order and it seems kinda obvious unless some committee fuckery happens. Oklahoma and OSU both have 1 loss. Oklahoma avenged their 3 point loss yesterday to a 9-4 Texas.

Meanwhile Ohio State lost by 29 points to a 6-6 Purdue team. Comparing losses and with both of them being conference champs, one is clearly worse. Same reason a non conference champ 2011 Alabama snuck in during the 2011 season because they had a 3-point loss to the undefeated #1 team, while Oklahoma State lost to a (at the time) 5-4 Iowa State team. That loss was bad enough to cause a rematch for the championship game. And I know Oklahoma State for some reason loves to use that basketball coach tragedy as an excuse for why their football team had a 17-7 lead at halftime and blew it because of sadness?????, meanwhile Bama had a tornado rip through the town prior to the season but didn't use it as an excuse and the committee didn't buy that pity party either

I think UGA is still one of the top 4 teams in the country from talent on the field, but the 20 point loss to LSU is probably what's gonna kill that playoff dream. So they have 1 more loss than OSU or Oklahoma who played the same number of games and aren't conference champs like them. If it weren't for that LSU game I could see them getting in, but as it currently stands I think they're just boned. 2011 Bama situation isn't comparable to this, and neither is non conference champ 2017 Alabama (OSU would have bumped them if they hadn't lost by 31 to then 5-3 Iowa) or, before we all conveniently forget as if Bama is behind some conspiracy, non conference champ 2016 Ohio State.

But who knows what will happen.
