AP Top 25
Others receiving votes: Missouri 81, South Carolina 58, Tulane 41, UNLV 9, Louisiana 9, Washington 4, Arizona State 3, Texas Tech 2, Iowa 2
Dropped from rankings: Illinois 24, Missouri 25
So the playoffs right now according to conference standings (took the top 5 conference leaders) and the AP Poll would be:
9 - Indiana
at - - - - - - - - - - 1 - Oregon (B1G)
8 - Tennessee
12 - Boise St (MWC)
at - - - - - - - - - - 4 - BYU (Big 12)
5 - Ohio State
11 - Alabama
at - - - - - - - - - - 3 - Miami (ACC)
6 - Texas
10 - Notre Dame
at - - - - - - - - - - 2 - Georgia (SEC)
7 - Penn State
Other Conference Leaders in contention: #18 Army
Other Teams in contention for at large: Texas A&M, LSU, Ole Miss, SMU
Still a good chance of the Big 12 not getting a bye, need:
Boise State to win out: FPI 59.1%, Nevada, San Jose St, Wyoming, Oregon St, MWC Championship
BYU to lose a game: FPI 91.9%, Utah, Kansas, Arizona St, Houston, Big 12 Championship
FPIs are for regular season only
Small chance but if Army wins out, Big 12 might not get their conference champion into the playoffs, much greater chance if BYU or Iowa State don't win the Big 12.
I believe the playoff committee release an initial look this week, be interesting to see how close it aligns with the AP poll.
