Bowl projections

A lot still to be decided

00:00 You can drive yourself crazy with all these scenarios, the possibilities of what could

00:05 happen and what would lead to a particular team getting into the college football playoff.

00:11 For Washington, it seems pretty simple.

00:14 If they win the rest of their games, including the Pac-12 championship game, you would think

00:19 that the Huskies would be in as one of the four teams.

00:23 If Oregon wins the rest of its games and then beats Washington in the Pac-12 championship

00:29 game, you would think that Oregon probably would get in, but that would not be a sure

00:34 thing, especially if Texas wins the rest of their games or if Alabama wins the rest of

00:40 their games, including a championship game against Georgia.

00:44 What would that do to Georgia?

00:46 Would that knock Georgia out of the picture?

00:49 Hard to say.

00:50 They'd be a one-loss team, but they would not have a conference championship.

00:55 The selection committee looks very closely at conference champions.

01:00 If you don't win a conference championship, you've got to really have a strong case.

01:04 So it's really hard to tell at this point.

01:06 It certainly looks like if Michigan wins the rest of their games, if they beat Ohio State,

01:10 they're going to be in, but that Ohio State game is not a certainty.

01:14 So it's really hard to tell at this point who's going to do what.

01:18 Florida State's in the same boat.

01:20 They seem to have the easiest path.

01:23 They would certainly need to win out and win the ACC championship game.

01:28 And their opponent at this point looks like it would be Louisville, and that would be,

01:32 it would seem, an easier contest than what the other conference championship games would

01:38 have.

01:38 would have.
