What were you looking at when you wrote the above?PSU seems to have the easiest path to the National Semi-finals. The others have brutal schedules to make it that far.
Texas would have to beat Clemson, Ohio State and Oregon to get to the semi's;
OSU has to beat Tenn, Oregon and Texas to get to the semi's;
Oregon has to beat Ohio State, Texas to get to semi's;
Dame needs to beat Ind, Ga, then maybe PSU to get to semi's;
It doesn't look easy for anyone. If GA beats ND, they have a clear path.
Texas has to beat Clemson and ASU to make the semis. Both are ranked below PSU’s respective round opponents. Texas would play one of Oregon/tOSU/Tenn in a semi if they made it that far.
tOSU’s path above includes their potential semi matchup.
Oregon has to win one game (tOSU/Tenn) to make the semi.
ND wouldn’t theoretically play PSU until the semis.
