WHO'S IN?

The college football playoffs are starting to clear up as we reach championship weekend for most of the conferences.

Rankings were released again last night for the second to last time.

The top 4 remained the same with Clemson on top followed by Alabama, Oklahoma, and Iowa.

What we know:

  • Oklahoma is IN the 2015-2016 College Football Playoffs. Committee chairman Jeff Long stated that OU is comfortably in the 3rd spot and that's without factoring in the conference championship they just won. And OU does not have another game so there is no chance for the Sooners to slip up. 
  • The Big Ten Championship game is a play in game for the final spot in the playoffs. With Iowa sitting at number 4 and Michigan State sitting at number 5 it seems pretty obvious that whoever wins that game is in. 
  • If Clemson and Alabama both win, Clemson will remain number 1 and be the top seed in the playoffs on New Years Eve. If Bama was going to jump Clemson they would have done so already. 
  • Stanford has the best chance to jump into the playoffs should either Clemson or Alabama stumble in their conference championship game. With a win over USC, Stnaford would just have to sit back and hope that one of two top teams get upsets in their games.
If the playoffs were TODAY we would have a matchup between Clemson and Iowa in the Orange Bowl and a rematch of the 2013 Sugar Bowl with Alabama and Oklahoma facing off at the Cotton Bowl inside of Jerry World.

There is still a lot of things that could happen pending the result of this weekends championship games. 

The final rankings will be released Sunday at 11:30 ct on ESPN.
