There are now two possibilities, either LSU or Clemson will win:
If LSU wins:
Clemson and Bama will be exactly tied in CFP performance. Each will have five appearances. Each will be 4-1 in semi-finals, and each will be 2-2 in Championships for a total of 6-3 in nine CFP games each.
Behind them will be tOSU and then LSU. Each will have two CFP wins and a CFP Championship but tOSU will have an edge because they have two additional appearances while LSU has none. Additionally, the three years in which tOSU did not appear in the CFP they were at least close enough to be in the discussion while LSU's non-appearance years were:
- 9-3 with no SECCG in 2018
- 9-3 with no SECCG in 2017
- 7-4 with no SECCG in 2016
- 8-3 with no SECCG in 2015
- 8-4 with no SECCG in 2014
Next is the curious question of how to compare Oklahoma to UGA and Oregon. Oklahoma has four CFP appearances which is even better than Ohio State and much better than LSU but they are 0-4 in CFP games. UGA and Oregon each only have one appearance but they each won the semi-final when they got there so they are 1-1 in CFP games compared to OU's 0-4.
After them come the four teams that have made the CFP only once and lost in the semi-final (FSU, MSU, ND, Washington).
If Clemson wins:
Clemson will pull ahead of Bama in CFP wins and Championships but it will still be close, 7-6 in wins and 3-2 in Championships.
Behind them will be tOSU alone.
