MWC Championship
  • #20 UNLV vs. #10 Boise State - rooting for Boise State. If the Broncos, Clemson, and Georgia wins, they are the other bye on our side of the bracket.

Big 12 Championship
  • #16 Iowa State vs. #15 Arizona State - not a noticeable difference, we don't play the winner until the semifinals. I like Kenny Dillingham better so give me the Sun Devils

Big Ten Championship
  • #3 Penn State vs. #1 Oregon - I hate James Franklin and Penn State. Go Ducks

ACC Championship
  • #17 Clemson vs. #8 SMU - rooting for Clemson. If SMU wins, Alabama is 100% in the field. Go Dabo

If the favorites win, you'll have:

[Rose Bowl] #1 Oregon vs. #8 Ohio State/#9 Tennessee
[Fiesta Bowl] #4 Boise State vs. #5 Penn State/#12 Arizona State

[Sugar Bowl] #2 Texas vs. #7 Georgia/#10 Indiana
[Peach Bowl] #3 SMU vs. #6 Notre Dame/#11 Alabama


If Georgia and Clemson win, you're looking at this, with a potential swap of the 6/7/10/11 quadrant depending on how badly the teams lose.

#1 Oregon vs. #8 Ohio State/#9 Tennessee
#4 Arizona State vs. #5 Texas/#12 Clemson

#2 Georgia vs. #7 Notre Dame/#10 Indiana
#3 Boise State vs. #6 Penn State/#11 SMU


I do not see the SECCG loser dropping beyond 7, so worst case we're hosting Indiana on December 21st. (assuming we don't get boatraced)
