Lotsa football left but I think the four spots will be compromised of the current top 6 teams,

If ND and Alabama win out (then you have Clemson and Florida both out) and Texas AM and tOSU in

Probably have Alabama facing Texas AM in sugar and ND vs tOSU in Rose Bowl

If Florida upsets Alabama then I see ND facing tOSU in rose and a potential rematch with Florida and Bama in sugar

If Clemson beat the Irish and Bama beats florida we may see ND facing Bama in sugar and texas AM vs Clemson n rose bowl

Thoughts? I know it's just to early at this point, But if Clemson and Bama both win out my guess is they will not want Clemson and ND playing a third time and Alabama and Texas AM playing again in the semis

Level 1
We have to hope that we dont get screwed if Clemson wins

We barely beat them in double overtime and they were missing their QB and several other key players
THey will make for a tough second out......and if somehow they blow us out we could easily be on the outside looking in for CFP
Let's take care of business and not make that an option

  Yep, you are right. It is amazing how much more positive I am feeling about playing them again.

  We still have to play well against Syracuse and not have a "final home game for seniors" hangover. They were in Clemson game for three quarters until a fumble turned touchdown started their downfall. But as I have said before Numbers 23 and 24 will keep all their heads into the game IMO.

I think Ohio State will be screwed due to B1G Covid

Disagree with last sentence. If Clemson wins ACC game close, then I think a rubber game is exactly

what everyone will want to see. Agree though on Bama/TAM

  I respectfully disagree, (in the semis). Championship game yes

    Well, it probably wouldn't happen until the championship game anyway.

    Clemson winning the ACC would likely make them #2 seed in playoffs, with ND likely getting the #4 seed. That's assuming, of course, that Ohio State plays and wins the Big 10 championship game.
    If OSU does not qualify for Big 10 game, they may not make the playoffs. In that case, so many things could happen.
    If ND wins the ACC game, Clemson is out and ND may be the #1 seed.

      I sure hope Irish won't have to play Clemson a third time.
