For example, it makes the following assumptions:
- It completely forgets to include the Orange Bowl, although it does assume a winner from that bowl (Georgia), presumably against Cincinnati, which doesn't appear anywhere else (fine assumption, but you would think they would at least include 1 of the 2 most important games, no?)
- Utah beats Oregon and gets the P12 auto-bid in the Rose Bowl, Oregon falls out of NY6 contention (reasonable assumption and follows Vegas odds)
- Iowa beats Michigan in the B10 Championship and fills the guaranteed Rose Bowl slot for the B10 (this would be a pretty big upset as Vegas has Michigan at somewhere between -10 and -11)
- Both Ohio State (Citrus Bowl) and Michigan State (Outback Bowl) drop below BYU; hard to see a scenario where one, let alone both, of those teams fall below BYU
