Disclaimer: I do NOT think we are going 11-1. But just for fun:

If we did go 11-1, we are in really good shape:

Need to move up 6 spots:

Bama/LSU is an elimination game. A 9-3 loser of that game isnt going over 11-1 Pitt.

If Texas loses another before Thanksgiving then their game vs Texas A&M is an elimination game as both would go in at 9-2. Even if Texas is 10-1 by then, a win over A&M knocks them out.

Ole Miss is knocked out if they lose to Georgia on Saturday or another game.

Very likely Iowa State loses 1 of its last 4. But of course, a team like that could beat 12-0 BYU in the B12CG and steal a bid.

Need 2 of these:

Need IU to lose 2 (OSU/Mich)

ND to lose 1 (at USC or Army?)

PSU to lose to a girls team

Miami to lose 2

Ten to lose 2 (@ UGa, @ Vandy)

BYU to lose 2

LSU/Bama winner to lose another game
 
Good list. One caveat, if we win out and Miami loses, we are likely in the ACC Championship based on tiebreakers.
