I think things get really interesting if Georgia beats Tennessee and goes undefeated, while it's Tennessee's only loss... then Alabama beats Georgia in the SEC Championship. Then you have 11-1 Tennessee, 12-1 Alabama, and 12-1 Georgia. I doubt that will happen, because these obscure hypotheticals always seem to sort themselves out (Tennessee could lose this week to Kentucky, for instance), but it's certainly an interesting concept. They would all basically be 1-1 in the round robin format. Although, in addition to making the conference championship, I guess you would assign more points to Alabama for beating Texas OOC and Georgia for beating Oregon OOC than Tennessee for beating Pitt OOC.
Are Ohio State and Michigan both in if the only loss between the two comes to the other? I think it's a maybe if Ohio State loses but probably not for Michigan, as their OOC schedule looked like IUP's.
TCU is 7-0 with WVU, Texas Tech, Texas, Baylor, and Iowa State left... plus the Big 12 championship game, if they get there. Are they a threat? I'm thinking they have at least two losses remaining.
And then there's Clemson: Can anybody beat them? And if they do win out (say the beat a 9-3 UNC team in the ACC Championship), does a 13-0 Clemson get in over an 11-1 Tennessee team above? Wake would be their marquee win, assuming Wake keeps winning.
I'm sure it will be obvious by the time it's all said and done, but things could get interesting as they stand now.
