So we're likely #1 if we win Saturday... what about others?

I think the winner of AU/UGA comes in at 2 or 3 (2 if it's AU, 3 if it's UGA)
If OU wins, they come it at either 2 or 3 (depending on outcome of SEC)
Wisconsin is 4 with a win... but if they lose #4 would either be OSU or Bama
It gets weird if TCU beats OU... then the real guessing starts. Clemson and SEC champ would be 1 and 2, but I'm not convinced Bama wouldn't be 3, ahead of B1G champion Wisconsin
If both TCU and OSU win, Clemson and SEC champ are 1 and 2... then anyone's guess

I think they'll base it off Matchups

They won't want Clemson to play an SEC team in the Sugar Bowl so if we are number 1 we'll play Wisconsin/Other. Or maybe the'll be determined to not allow for another Clemson vs SEC matchup and have OU #1 and have Clemson play the SEC champ.

but, but, they aren't supposed to do that...

but in 2015 i did see Mich State jump OU in the final poll just so Bama could get the B1G creampuff and we can get Mackensie Alexander hurt against Oklahoma. Even though we were #1.

here's who's in play... IMO - there's only so many ways

things could shake out
Clemson
AU
OU
Wisc.
UGA
OSU
Bama
The 4 will come from these...
Likely seeds based on outcome:
If Clemson and AU win, they are going to be 1 and 2... I don't see how they wouldn't be.
OU - assuming a win, #3 if AU wins, #2 if UGA wins
Wisc. #4, unless TCU beats OU.. then they could maybe move to 3
UGA - #3 with a win over AU (maybe 2 if they win and OU loses)
OSU - #3 or 4 if they get in (3 only if both they and TCU win)
Bama - #3 or 4 (same as OSU above)

If Miami beats us, it could very well be AU or OU at 1

when they flipped Michigan State and Oklahoma in the final poll so Bama would not have to play Oklahoma in Texas which would have effectively been a home game for the Sooners.

We should be ranked #1 when the rankings are released Tues.

We should finish ranked #1.
Every time I think I know how the seeding will go the POC confounds me. They always put the #1 team in the venue closest to home it seems. After that it appears they place teams according to geography not according to where their record and qualifications dictate. I'd guess AU should be ranked above everyone but us but the POC is unpredictable. They may put AU in the Sugar.
I used 'dictate,' and 'but us but,' in a paragraph.

Bama would beat Wisconsin by 35 on a neutral field! I would rather play Wisconsin but the truth is the truth.
