This is the AP Poll. This is not the CFP Rankings, which determines the 4 playoff teams. That one comes out Tuesday evening. But they should be very close.
I don't see Clemson or Ohio St. losing. I think they both get in. The winner of the LSU - Georgia game in the SEC Championship Game will certainly get in. I don't think Bama gets in without Tua. Plus their D isn't very good this year. LSU might get in with one loss because of strength of schedule.
That leaves one more team. I think it might be Oklahoma because of their national reputation and because of Hurts. But they will be shredded just like last year because they don't play and D.
Notice that VT is now ranked.
Who do you think gets in?
