Still more 'what if' scenarios that are possible before we can figure out who will be in the final four but there are some interesting possibilities.
1. PAC12 is now eliminated from the playoff.
2. Both OU and OSU need to win their game this weekend to have a chance at consideration. Lose and they (and their conference) are done. If both teams win it will set up a very interesting decision for the comittee
3. If Georgia wins it will really make things messy - if USU and/or OU also win. A Georgia loss and they will also be eliminated
4. UCF needs a miracle to make it into the playoff. Likely their best shot is an OU , Georgia, and OSU loss. Plus they would probably need to blow Memphis away in their game.
One more weekend to watch before football season goes on hiatus for awhile until bowl time.

I think any real UCF talk is done with Milton done. They would only seriously consider putting them in the playoff if they were sure they'd be competitive, and no way anyone is going to think that without him.
Michigan looking terrible against Ohio State makes Notre Dame's schedule look even worse. If Ohio State wins and Georgia wins, Notre Dame could easily be left out. Georgia winning would probably lead to playoff expansion, because someone is going to be pissed. Even if all the favorites win this weekend, one of OU or OSU is going to be pretty outraged.
