If Notre Dame wins out, they'll go ahead of any 2-loss team. The reality is that the 2-loss possibilities are P12 and M. If ND wins out, that'll include a win over Stanford to go along with a win over USC. If it's ND-M, M will have 3 quality wins to ND's 2, but ND showed more in their loss. Eh, whatever.
Right now it would seem like the SEC Champ and ACC Champ are in (I think UNC is in if the beat Clemson). It also seems like the B12 will get a team in. That leaves the B10, ND and the P12 in order of likelihood (Iowa and OSU are shoe-ins if they win out -- ND is not and the P12 needs massive amounts of help).
What could also be really, really interesting is if Oklahoma wins out. Who goes? 11-1 OU or 11-1 ND? Since the B12 doesn't have a CG, they're on even footing with ND.
Of course, if Okie State loses this weekend -- surely a possibility -- and then beats OU, the B12 is a clusterfuck. If both Oklahoma teams wins this weekend (both at home), then the B12 is, IMO, in. I think they'll take 11-1 Sooners over ND.
