defending champ and even if they lose in the SEC Championship, they will make it (hell, precedent is last year)

Ohio State/Michigan winner is in

Clemson is out

TCU lurking, although they have a tough final stretch and hard to see them emerge without a single loss

nobody wants to see Oregon-Georgia again so I'm going to say they are out, USC has a better shot

I'd say Tennessee is out since they won't even win their division, but it will be interesting to see what the Ohio State/Michigan loser vs non-Georgia SEC Championship winner vs 1-loss Pac-12/Big 12 conference champions arguments are
