      This is all very interesting.  I would have thought that we needed to beat a top-ten Oregon to get in.  Many seem to think we still have a chance.

      Just keep winning/dominating as we have been doing and everything will work out, because a Rose Bowl is a very nice consolation prize!

        These are the key things I want to happen.

        We win out and beat Oregon by 10 or so.
        Auburn over Bama.
        Oklahoma loses to OSU but beats Baylor.
        Clemson loses at least once.
        LSU over GA, hopefully by a decent margin.
        tOSU doesn’t slip up in CCG.

        If all of those happen we’re a lock. If most of the happen we may still get in.

          I love your list and am all in with you.  However, can I add one?  I’d like to win the lottery!  🙂

      Clemson is irrelevant to us. Would it be nice if they lost? Sure, but they have little bearing on getting the 4th seed.

      The worst thing that could happen is Georgia beating LSU in the SECCG. As long as LSU, OSU, and Clemson win out, we will have a decent shot at getting in.

        Actually they do have a bearing on us. If GA wins out but Clemson loses once or even twice it could absolutely be what gets us in.

        I don’t care if it’s Georgia or Clemson we replace if we get in. Either scenario sounds great to me!

      AT this point the worst thing that could happen is Utah overlooks Colorado.  I was really pulling for Washington to win last night as that would eliminate the Buffs from having a shot at a bowl game.  Now they are going to play their guts out to get to a bowl game and it is a classic trap game for the Utes if they look past them at all and start thinking about playoffs and roses.  With USC winning, we have to beat Colorado and if we want a shot at the 4 slot in the playoffs we need to beat them convincingly.  I have full confidence that Kyle will not let this happen.  Go Utes!

        FWIW, Colorado also had a chance to go bowling last year and they dropped their final 6 games, including the one in Boulder against us. I’ll take our Senior Day motivation over their bowl game motivation.
