Ranking CCG's by impact, interest, intrigue....whatever you want to call it

This is considering the impact of teams/winning losing, along with the likelihood of that actually happening.  Bottom line, tody's CCG is easily the most interesting one from a big picture standpoint

  1. PAC: #4 USC vs #11 Utah
         Possibility of Upset: Relatively high (USC favored by only 2.5)
         Impact: Large impact to both playoff and NY6
              
    with USC win: USC to playoffs; Utah out of NY6; Washington into Rose Bowl
              with USC loss: USC out of playoffs; Ohio St into playoffs; Utah to Rose Bowl; Washington out of NY6; USC to Cotton Bowl...or completely out of NY6 with LSU or possibly Purdue win.

  2. AAC: #18 Tulane vs #22 UCF
         Possibility of Upset: Medium/Low (Tulane favored by 4)
         Impact: Limited impact to NY6
              
    with Tulane win: Tulane to Cotton Bowl; UCF out of NY6
              with Tulane loss: Tulane out of NY6; UCF to Cotton Bowl

  3. ACC: #9 Clemson vs #23 North Carolina
         Possibility of Upset: Low (Clemson favored by 7.5)
         Impact: Limited impact to NY6
              
    with Clemson win: Clemson to Orange Bowl; North Carolina out of NY6
              with Clemson loss: Clemson out of NY6; North Carolina to Orange Bowl

  4. Big 12: #3 TCU vs #10 Kansas St
         Possibility of Upset: Medium (TCU favored by only 2.5)
         Impact: Almost no impact
              
    with TCU win: TCU to playoffs; Kansas St to Sugar Bowl
              with TCU loss: probably still TCU to playoffs; Kansas St to Sugar Bowl... even if tOSU does jump TCU for playoff spot, no further downrange impacts to NY6 participants

  5. SEC: #1 Georgia vs #14 LSU
         Possibility of Upset: Very low (Georgia favored by 17.5)
         Impact: Large impact to NY6
              
    with Georgia win: Georgia to playoff; Alabama to Sugar Bowl; LSU to non-NY6
              with Georgia loss: Georgia still in playoff; LSU jumps into NY6, likely knocking out Penn St or (if USC also loses) either Tennessee or USC.

  6. B1G: #2 Michigan vs Purdue
         Possibility of Upset: Very low (Michigan favored by 17)
         Impact: Large impact to NY6
              
    with Michigan win: Michigan to playoff; Ohio St/Penn St to Sugar Bowl, other to playoffs/NY6; Purdue not in NY6
              with Michigan loss: Michigan still in playoff; Purdue jumps into NY6, likely knocking out Penn St or (if USC also loses) either Tennessee or USC.
  7. MAC: Ohio vs Toledo
