The committee wants Bama to play at ND. Also, if Clemson beats SMU it won’t get the bye and ASU slides into the Fiesta with Boise going to the Peach. If ND is the 5th seed then Bama the will be 12. If it is the 6th Bama will be 11.
The rankings tomorrow tell you who is in. The final rankings next week will be all about seeding for TV matchups.
Bama will be ranked ahead of Miami tomorrow which tells me the Hurricanes are out. That last spot comes down to who they want to match up with either Oregon or ND.
