then I see ND at the 10 seed in very first edition behind 5. GA 6. PSU 7. Tosu 8. TX 9. Tenn, with 4 games remaining to move up into the 6-8 spot depending on other 'goings ons' around us (like the loser of Tosu-PSU possibly being behind us).
I don't see any teams behind us in the initial release passing us other than Clem if they beat Miami in ACC title game, or ISU if the beat BYU for B12 title (which would drop BYU, so no harm there) or Indiana playing their way into the B1G championship (which means they would knock Tosu off, so again no harm).
The only teams that are likely to stay ahead of us with a loss are Oregon if the first loss is in B1G title game and/or Miami if the first loss is in the ACC title game.
I really like our chances of getting the 8 seed or higher if we win out.
