Stupid early guess at the CFP teams and who else fills the NY6 bowels
SEC champ
ACC champ
Two of these four teams: Wisconsin, Oklahoma, Alabama, Ohio State
NY6 locks:
ACC - Miami and Clemson
SEC - Alabama, Auburn, and Georgia
B1G - Wisconsin and either Ohio State or Penn State
XII - Oklahoma and TCU
Group of 5 - Someone (probably UCF)
Pac-12 - Stanford or USC
I see 11 locks and only 1 free spot available. The only viable way for Washington to make the NY6 is for Wisconsin to beat Ohio State so bad that the Buckeyes fall below the Huskies in the final CFP rankings. It's likely that the SEC and B1G will get three teams in the NY6 while the Pac-12 will only get one.
TL, DR: UW headed to the Alamo or Holiday unless shit gets really weird.

Why do you have Oklahoma And TCU?
One of them has to lose. And if it’s TCU that’s 3 losses. We’d have a chance to pass them in that case. They just played Baylor so their SOS compared to last week will take a hit.
That’s the group and it’s pretty much set, and it’s totally a Stanford OR USC situation. The final bid is Oklahoma AND TCU if TCU wins. If TCU loses it opens up the possibility of them falling out. Same with tOSU if they lose badly.
Hopefully Fresno makes it to the top 25 and Cuog stays there. If that happened we’d actually compare favorably to Penn State whose best win is Northwestern. -
Do we? play UCF if we make a NY6?
-
If Furd beats USC, combined with their win today over ND, then our loss to them doesn't look as bad.
But that loss to ASU still sucks shit.

And don't count out memphis, or the Fresno rematch. -
I stupidly assumed that conferences were guaranteed a second bid if their champion went to the playoff. That doesn't happen in the Rose/Sugar CFP semifinal years, because this system is dumb sometimes.whlinder said:Why do you have Oklahoma And TCU?

Scratch TCU from the locks above, but Penn State is probably a lock now. They were at #10 before this week while UW was at #17. I don't think this week's results will change enough to get Washington ahead of Penn State. I guess the best hope is that Oklahoma blows the fuck out of TCU. If that happens...Washington probably gets Penn State in the Cotton Bowl.
Maybe this helps?

TCU isn’t in a New Year’s 6 Bowl if they lose to Oklahoma ... there’s a chance UW can sneak into the Cotton

Agree. TCU is the logical replacement for now.Bread said:

Also, this would be a bit shady, but ESPN still runs this shit, right?
Auburn and us are opening the season next year.
That’s a whole lotta offseason hype and storylines and manufactured debate for ESPN if it is NY6 vs playoff/NY6 from year before. (And playoff vs NY6 from 2016).
