We are now back to 2 SEC teams in the playoffs with the B1G & B12 being shut out. This shows the scenario where only 3 at-large teams are included and demonstrates one of the worst case scenarios for a year with the Rose/Sugar as the semi-finals. If a team like BYU could get into the top 5-7 at the end of the year they would have been in. And possibly as low as 8-10 with the current scenario...

Finally a couple non-P5 teams are in the CFP rankings with Boise St #23 and Marshall #24.
