Overall Rationale: 7 teams left alive for the 4 playoff spots. The last few spots in the rankings were pretty hard since only ~20 teams really are worthy of being ranked IMO.

|---|---|---|
| 1 |  Alabama Crimson Tide | basically a lock | 
| 2 |  Washington Huskies | win and in | 
| 3 |  Clemson Tigers | win and in | 
| 4 |  Ohio State Buckeyes | might need some help. im not the committee but i wouldn't have them in | 
| 5 |  Michigan Wolverines | screwed themselves out of that game more so than the refs did | 
| 6 |  Wisconsin Badgers | win and in imo | 
| 7 |  Penn State Nittany Lions | win and likely in. should def go over ohio state if they win | 
| 8 |  Colorado Buffaloes | win and need some chaos |

| 10 |  USC Trojans | going to slaughter whoever they play | 
| 11 |  Oklahoma Sooners | win and sugar bowl | 
| 12 |  Oklahoma State Cowboys | win and sugar bowl | 
| 13 |  Florida State Seminoles | probably going to the orange bowl unless vt wins | 
| 14 |  Navy Midshipmen | could steal the cotton bowl bid | 
| 15 |  West Virginia Mountaineers | should win their bowl game | 
| 16 |  Stanford Cardinal | should win their bowl game | 
| 17 |  Virginia Tech Hokies | win and orange bowl. lose (likely) and idk what bowl | 
| 18 |  USF Bulls | also a potential cotton bowl berth thief |
