For ND to make the playoff, we are fans of these teams:
1. In SEC, we want Georgia to blow out everyone. Like totally whip them.
2. In the Big12, we have to cheer for Iowa State
3. In the Pac12, we have to cheer for USC
4. Oh, and we need to win out convincingly.
With those four things, the Final Four would be Clemson, Georgia, Big10 champion, and ND.

I think a 1 loss team from the PAC12 or Big12 gets left out. The Big10 champion has to have 2 losses to be left out. tOSU would have to stub their toe somewhere along the way. Oklahoma plays nobody so 1 loss leaves them out.
I suppose it’s possible that the SEC runner-up gets left out if they lose to Georgia by more than we did AND Georgia goes undefeated.
