I might be wrong, but no matter the result in that game, the last two spots are reserved for two conference champions. If one of them is not Virginia, another conference champion will take their spot, no?

    - Never mind. - jakers - 12:49pm 12/3/25
      - ok thanks. [NT] - NDQuebec - 2:07pm 12/3/25
  - BYU's best win is over Utah. By 3. - Chris94 - 12:26pm 12/3/25
    - Agreed. But they will get an auto-bid if they win. - jakers - 12:50pm 12/3/25
      - I know. But TT should be out with a loss. They played nobody. [NT] - Chris94 - 1:07pm 12/3/25
        I don't disagree. I just don't see them doing it. [NT] - jakers - 1:35pm 12/3/25
        They should...but they won't. [NT] - TakethetrainKnute - 1:46pm 12/3/25
      - and ND's best win is over USC, which is ranked behind Utah. [NT] - irish93 - 12:53pm 12/3/25
- BYU to lose and Bama to get killed by Georgia. If BYU wins I think we’re probably out. Not to sure - MuskyTommy - 12:15pm 12/3/25
  - Bama could be blown out and they'd still be in - MarkHarman - 12:37pm 12/3/25
    - it's not fair because a big loss indicates they are not one of the best ten teams. [NT] - THEISMANCARR - 6:41pm 12/3/25
    - Perhaps, perhaps not - shep - 1:16pm 12/3/25
    - What is fair about a 3-loss Bama team going to the playoffs? - murph78 - 12:49pm 12/3/25
