Probably won't work out like this but for grins, what would you do if say, Clemson, Oklahoma and Ohio State all run the table the rest of the way and you're choosing from 1 loss teams in Oregon (Auburn early), Penn State (@ Ohio State), Georgia (SEC winner), Alabama (to Georgia in SEC title game), LSU (at Alabama) & Notre Dame?
Clemson plays a terrible schedule in the weakest conference. Unless they blow it against their USC rival they'll be there.
OU is less likely but still only has road games against KState, OState and Baylor standing in their way.
Ohio State has Wisconsin at home, Penn State at home and then @ Michigan before the B1G Championship game.
If the B1G winner is undefeated they have to go. Penn State, Ohio State or Minnesota (only 3 possibilities left) would have at least 2 top 10 wins.
OU and Clemson will have zero. Can either of those 2 get knocked out by a 1 loss Alabama? Or what if LSU loses to Georgia in the SEC? They'd have road wins at Texas, at Bama and Florida and Auburn at home. That's 4 top 10 wins, with 2 on the road.
But start with the 1st scenario I have.....who makes your top 4?
For me, given that scenario, I think I'd have to take Ohio State, Georgia (even though they had the worst loss), Clemson (haven't been beat in 2+ years) and probably Alabama.
