So assuming Ohio State and Virginia both win, which 12 get in?

1) Ohio State
2) Georgia
3) Texas Tech
4) Indiana (unless they get absolutely curb stomped, in which case they may drop to 5)
5) Oregon
6) Ole Miss
7) Texas A&M
8) Oklahoma
9) Miami
10) Notre Dame
11) Virginia
12) Tulane

Looks like Alabama's best chance to get in is if Duke beats Virginia.

After a debacle of a coaching search, I do think Penn State got it right with Matt Campbell. Good football coach.

I'm not sure this is 100% accurate, but from what I am reading apparently Tulane and James Madison are in because they are part of the "5 highest rank conference champions"

In one projection they show James Madison playing at Oregon and Tulane at Ole Miss. Ole Miss already beat Tulane 45-10 once this year. Neither of these teams has a chance in hell to win either game.
