I think the only way ND gets into the title game now is if Clemson loses the ACC title game. Even then, it might be tough. Oklahoma/OK State, Iowa/OSU/MSU, Alabama/Florida should get the other 3 spots. I wouldn't say it's the only way. OK State and Oklahoma still have Baylor/TCU and each other on the schedule. Agreed on the Big Ten. Obviously an outside shot Michigan messes everything up bc if OSU wins at home against Sparty, they control the rest of their destiny to win the Big Ten but they'd have to win at Happy Valley, against OSU who has never lost a regular season Big Ten game with Urban Meyer as coach and against Iowa with a playoff spot at stake for them. And yeah the SEC champ will get the 3rd spot unless Florida loses to FSU then turns around and beat Bama (and even then a 2 loss SEC champ might get in over a 1 loss ND because SEC) Edit: long rambling post to say that I still think the Big 12s spot is in jeopardy because I could see ND getting in over any of the teams at 1 loss except probably OU
