Schedule watching of teams ahead of BYU...(provided BYU keeps winning)
1. Oregon-Ill, @Michigan, Maryland, @Wi, Washington...Don't see them losing, but traveling that far twice might make things interestin. Washington could be a tough one as it is a rivalry game

2. Georgia--Flordia, @Ole Miss, Tenessee, UMass (seriously?), Georgia Tech...Ole Miss is the toughest opponent, but I don't see them losing the rest of the way.

3. Penn State-- @Wisconsin, Ohio State, Washington, @Purdue, @Minn, Maryland...Most likely loss is Ohio State, but they get them at home.

4. Ohio State--Nebraska, @Penn State, Purdue, Northwestern, Indiana, Michigan...Most likely losses...Penn State, Indiana, Michigan (because its a rivalry game and anything can happen ther).

5. Texas--@Vandy, Florida, @Arkansas, Kentucky, @aTm...Most likely loss is to aTm, I think there are two possible losses there, but Texas IMO, despite last night, ix still one of the top teams in the country.

6. Miami--FSU, Duke, @Georgia Tech, Wake Forest, @Syracuse--One of the easier schedules. Most likely losses GA Tech, Syracuse.

7. Tenn--Kentucky, MIss State, @Gerogia, UTEP (what a joke), @Vandy...Gergia is the obvious most likely loss.

8. LSU--@aTm, Alabama, @Florida, Vanderbilt, Oklahoma...Likely losses aTm, Alabama
9. Clemson--Louisvill, @Va Tech, @Pitt, Citadel (joke), South Carolina...Potential losses, Louisville, PItt, SC (rivalry).

10. Iowa State-TT, @Kansas, Cincy, @Utah, Kansas State...Potential losses. Maybe Kansas because they finally didn't look terrible, K-State.

Some thoughts. Of course BYU needs to keep winning but if they do they will have plenty of opportunities to keep moving up. The best scenario for the Big 12 is for both BYU and ISU to win out, both get in the top 7. If that happens, the both are likely playoff teams. if the Big 12 has an undefeated and a one loss team there is no way that they don't get two teams in the playoff.
Miami has a cupcake schedule as does Clemson, but if Miami loses before the championship game, and Clemosn wins out, the loser of that game is out. SMU though could move into that slot which would be great for BYU (if we win out) but SMU has a tougher schdule the rest of the way than either Clemson, or Miami,

LSU is the team that really sticks out to me as not belonging in the Top 10. Their loss at home to USC looks worse and worse.

I do think there will be substantial differenced between the CFP rankings and the AP poll when it comes out.
