It's Friday night and Utah won't be going to the CFP or the Rose Bowl. It will be Oregon to the Rose Bowl and the door may now be open for the winner of Baylor vs. Oklahoma.

Well, it's now close to 4 PM on Saturday, my car's transmission has conked out (again), Oklahoma has eliminated Baylor and now has to wait and see what happens with LSU and Georgia.

If the guys that fixed my transmission just a few months ago don't repair it this time for free I'm scrapping my car. It's 12 years old with 141,000 miles and I can afford a new one. That's doesn't mean I'm not really annoyed.

It's pushing 8 PM and LSU has made a statement over Georgia 37-10. Clemson has intercepted Virginia in the end zone a few minutes ago.

It's 8:40; Clemson is taking care of business over Virginia 17-7 but Wisconsin leads Ohio State 7-0 and has the ball.

Ohio State, trailing 14-0 and deep in their own territory, just ran a fake punt for a 1st down. Can you spell momentum change? Clemson is up 31-7 at halftime; Ohio State squandered the fake punt by fumbling at the Wisconsin 5 yard line.

Ohio State cut the lead to 14-7 but Wisconsin answered with a TD in the last 30 seconds of the half and went into halftime ahead 21-7.

Isn't this getting interesting?

I think it's safe to say that Clemson will beat Virginia as they're pulling away big time at 45-14 at the end of the 3rd quarter. But Ohio State and Wisconsin is not so obvious.

We're really down to two possibilities. Either Ohio State comes back to beat Wisconsin or Wisconsin upsets Ohio State.

In the first case I have to think that LSU goes to #1, Ohio State goes to #2, Clemson stays at #3 and Oklahoma gets the #4 spot.

If Wisconsin wins, then I think we get LSU at #1, Clemson at #2, Ohio State at #3 and Oklahoma at #4.

Personally, I think Ohio State comes back to win and, if they come back big enough, could even hold the #1 spot.

Ohio State had a huge 3rd quarter and now leads 24-17. Clemson finished off Virginia 62-17.

Ohio State utterly dominated Wisconsin the second half outscoring them 24-0 and coming back to win 31-21. I have to believe Ohio State will hold the #1 spot so I guessing the four playoff teams will be:

#1 - Ohio State (13-0)
#2 - LSU (13-0)
#3 - Clemson (13-0)
#4 - Oklahoma (12-1)
