This is the easiest year in the 3-year cycle, 5 at large openings
Based on the current CFP standings and assuming that the higher ranked teams are conference champs,

CFP
#1 Alabama (SEC)
#2 Oregon (PAc 12)
#3 Florida St. (ACC)
#4 Mississippi St. (at large)

NY6
Orange: #16 Georgia Tech (ACC) v. #6 Ohio St. (B1G/SEC/ND)
G5: #23 Boise St.
At Large (x5): Teams ranked #10 or higher

So, BYU would need to be ranked in the top-10 or higher to be a LOCK for the NY6 bowls.

Compare mythical undefeated BYU to #8 UCLA, #9 Georgia and #10 Michigan St.:
