We'll all be fascinated when the inevitable happens, some team loses 2 nonconference games and one more but ends up in the CG and wins in an upset. They'd be 10-3, and in the top four teams in the playoff.
UGA could do it with their future nonconference schedules although they lost Texas and OU as noncon opponents. They play Clemson and Ohio State still in one year, and maybe somehow Tech could become relevant again.
