So the playoffs right now according to conference standings (took the top 5 conference leaders) and the AP Poll would be:

9 - Notre Dame
at - - - - - - - - - - 1 - Oregon (B1G)
8 - Indiana


12 - SMU (ACC)
at - - - - - - - - - - 4 - Boise St (MWC)
5 - Ohio State


11 - Ole Miss
at - - - - - - - - - - 3 - BYU (Big 12)
6 - Texas


10 - Alabama
at - - - - - - - - - - 2 - Tennessee (SEC)
7 - Penn State

Other Conference Leaders in contention: #16 Army

Other Teams in contention for at large: Georgia, Miami, Texas A&M, Army

Good chance of the Big 12 or the ACC not getting a bye. Boise State could easily out rank the Big 12 or ACC champion if they win out. Smaller chance but still very feasible if Army and Boise State both win out, Big 12 or the ACC might not get their conference champion into the playoffs, much greater chance if BYU doesn't win the Big 12, same with the ACC if SMU or Miami doesn't win the conference.

It would really look interesting if Utah wasn't called for that iffy defensive holding call and BYU lost.

Be interesting to see what the playoff committee does after a turbulent week.
