SMU currently leads the conference at 5-0 (8-1 overall) their non conference loss was to BYU who is leading the Big 12 conference.
Miami 5-1 (9-1 overall)
Clemson 5-1 (6-2 overall) their conference loss is to Louisville (who has two conference loses) and the non conference lose is to Georgia.
Pittsburgh 3-1 (7-1 overall) their conference loss is to SMU.
Who ever ends up winning the ACC Championship game has a very good chance to get a first round bye in the 12 team playoff.
Four teams get first round byes and it is based on the top 4 ranked conference winners so it will almost certainly be the Big Ten champion, the SEC champion, and 2 of the following 3 the Big 12 champion, the ACC champion and the highest ranked Group of 5 champion.
No conference can get more than one of the four byes so a Big Ten or SEC team finishing in the top 4 doesn't get a bye if they don't win their conference championship game.
With Miami losing today there is a good chance the Top 7 in tomorrow's polls is all Big Ten and SEC if the other top teams avoid losing today.
In the AP poll that came out today 4 of the top 5 teams are from the Big Ten.
#1 Oregon
#2 Oho State
#3 Texas
#4 Penn State
#5 Indiana
2 weeks Indiana finally really gets to prove themselves. They’ve had somewhat of an easy BIG sch. Next weekend Indiana has bye and Ohio State is @ Northwestern.
I'm just mystified how bipolar Iowa is this year. They lost a completely winnable game vs. UCLA but defensively Iowa couldn't do a damn thing. Crazy stats from this game is that Iowa gave up more offense this weekend than they did vs. Stanford when they got stomped (45-16) in the Rose Bowl in 2016.
Also...news flash, Iowa State is not the world beaters that their fanbase thought they were a couple weeks ago. 🤣

While Nebraska v. Reality remains the greatest rivalry in college football Wisconsin v. reality is quickly gaining ground.
Butter the popcorn for this race!

Wisconsin has to make up how many laps on Nebraska in this one? 4? 5?
I have faith.
