Okay, I am 100% confident they aren't taking two non-championship game teams from the same conference. There's zero chance.
Zero chance is way to optimistic. The committee chair already said that the gap between Washington and Michigan was razor thin, meaning they almost put Michigan at four instead of Washington. Ohio St looks locked in.
So say Washington loses and Wisconsin beats Penn St. I think they put in Michigan above us given they won head to head. If Penn St wins, they won't put them in above Michigan who curb stomped Penn St when they played head to head.
Where things will get crazy is if say both Washington and Clemson lost. Then what? What actually has very little chance of happening is the committee putting in three B10 teams, but to avoid that they'd have to put in Colorado or the winner of Oklahoma/Oklahoma St. So i see Washington and Clemson both losing as the nightmare scenario for the committee because their only option then is putting in three B10 teams with Alabama or trying to explain why Colorado or the winner of Oklahoma/Oklahoma St. jumped one of those B10 teams ranked ahead of them.

Come in with huge expectations, go undefeated but with a bunch of close wins against mediocre competition who usually shoot themselves in the foot to lose the game. Go to the playoff and get steamrolled by a team that's just as talented but doesn't make mistakes.
My bad. Its a great comp though.
