What if all five conferences have an undefeated champion?

This is a very unlikely occurrence, but if it were to happen I would see it as follows. The SEC and Big Ten Champions, Alabama and Ohio State would take precedent and claim the top two spots.

For the last two remaining spots, I believe the ACC Champion if it’s Clemson gets in at No. 3 leaving the Big 12 Champion in at No. 4.

I don’t think the PAC-12 would be totally dismissed as they would have a team deserving. However, I would see their representative getting edged out.

If all works out accordingly, this scenario would present the opportunity for Tua Tagovailoa and Jalen Hurts to battle it out in the semifinal. Seeing those two quarterbacks on the same field would be must see television.

Playoff Picks: Alabama vs Oklahoma and Ohio State vs Clemson.
