I can't fathom OSU being left out.  They're a name brand and have been dominant lately.  In fact, if the above happened, the seeds would be:
1 - Clemson
2 - Ohio St (if only to avoid an immediate FloraBama rematch)
3 - Florida
4 - Alabama
5 - Notre Dame
6 - Texas A&M/Cincinnati

.
The PAC's only chance was Oregon, who was ranked highly enough initially.

If Florida beats Bama (lol) then Florida would get in, and Bama could still get in as a 1-loss team.

If Clemson wins the rematch with the Domers in the CCG and both have only one loss that was against each other....

An undefeated OSU might be on the outside looking in, and an undefeated USC/UDub would be ranked #6.
I could happen and because of the circumstances just might come to be

I see that BYU just scheduled undefeatrd Coastal Carolina for this Saturday.  BYU will be a last minute replacement after Liberty had to back out of its game with Coastal Carolina due to COVID-19.

I see this changing nothing as far as the 4 playoff teams go.  But I guess it could help BYU's chances to get into 1 of the commitee Access bowls.  If BYU ends up in the top 8, they almost have to give them a spot in a major bowl.

I think this is more of an attempt to catch Tulsa if the Golden Hurricane upsets Cincy for the NY6 Bowl than an attempt to catch Bama/ND/Clem/tOSU for the CFP.  Non-P5 in the latest CFP rankings:
Rank, Record, Team, Conference, remaining games:
  • #6, 8-0 Cincy, AAC, Tulsa twice (I think)
  • #13, 9-0 BYU, Indep, CCU, SDSU
  • #18, 9-0 CCU, Sun Belt, BYU, Troy, Louisiana
  • #21, 7-0 Marshall, C-USA, Rice, FIU, C-USACG probably against UTSA, LaTech, or UAB
  • #24, 5-1 Tulsa, AAC, Navy then Cincy twice
  • #25, 8-1 Louisiana, Sun Belt, ApSt, CCU


The BYU/CCU winner probably still needs help to catch Cincy but if Cincy falters they should easily be the highest ranked non P5 so long as they win out.  So at this point here is what each probably needs:
  • #6 Cincy:  Win out.  
  • #13 BYU:  Win out and root for Cincy to lose one of their games with Tulsa.  
  • #18 CCU:  Win out and root for Cincy to lose one of their games with Tulsa.  
  • #21 Marshall:  Win out, root for Cincy to lose one of their games with Tulsa and for Tulsa to lose to Navy and for the BYU/CCU winner to lose to somebody.  
  • #24 Tulsa:  Win out, root for the BYU/CCU winner to lose, and it would help if Marshall lost as well.  
  • #25 Louisiana:  Win out, root for CCU over BYU, Navy over Tulsa, and Tulsa over Cincy.

C incinnati is the only one with a punchers chance in Hell, imo, and even that is of course highly improbable.

BYU's issue is that it is not eligible for the G5 spot in the access bowls because that spot can only go to a G5 conference champion and BYU is not in a conference. 

So the only way for BYU to go to an access bowl is with an at-large bid, which probably means BYU will have to finish at least #12,  but may need to be as high as #8 in the CFP rankings.

You know it's the end times when a team schedules Coastal Carolina as a last-ditch effort to STRENGTHEN their schedule.  W.....in T actual.....F

No, because they twelved in the Twelve. 
Add $EC to any program and they are instantly ranked 3 spots higher than before.

So by ranking them lower than they are now, I'm high on A&M?  Mkay.  

A&M is 1-1 vs teams with a pulse (Alabama and Florida).
Cincinnati is 0-0, BYU is 0-0 and therein lies the rub.
