Stanford at #7

N.D. at #4

1. Clemson
2. Alabama
3. Ohio State
4. N.D.
5. Iowa
6. Baylor
7. Stanford

Well, this is good for us.  Ohio State will take care of Iowa (or vice versa), and we can take care of UDFG so while we still need help to be selected, our path forward is reasonable: 1) if Baylor stumbles against TCU, Oklahoma State or Oklahoma, 2) if Alabama loses to Florida, 3) if tOSU loses to Michigan or Michigan State, but the winner of that division still beats Iowa.

OKST needs to stumble too, but otherwise yeah, just need one of those things. As has been said many times, winning out is by far the most difficult part of our path to the playoffs. Nate Silver's updated model puts our odds at making it at like 94% if we win out.
