Here's what I think will be the committee's top 4:

1. LSU
2. Clemson
3. TCU
4. Ohio State

It is possible LSU and Clemson could be flipped. I think we're the two best teams right now. If they put a 1-loss team in there, it will be Notre Dame instead of Ohio State.

I would agree that its STRONGLY possible they're flipped. I'd be delightfully surprised though if LSU was #1

I think Clemson gets #1 spot.

basically your 4 with Clemson and LSU flipped is my guess.

must be nice to be 18 years old again. Who cares what it is tonight. The comm won't even put the teams they think will ultimately be in there. Last year, I think 3 of the actual playoff teams weren't in the initial release. Tonight means nothing. I don't know why you kids keep making a big deal out of it. If we win, we will be in...if we don't..then we won't....not hard to understand.

1. Ohio State (Defending Champs)
2. Clemson (Most impressive resume thus far)
3. LSU (Remaining schedule will boost resume)
4. Michigan State (Resume better than any BIG12 school)

The question is do they rank based on if the season finished today who would go or do they consider future games in their decision.

I could see two undefeated conference teams in the top 4 now who will drop out when they play eachother

Ex: lsu Bama, TCU Baylor, Ohio state Michigan state

1. Ohio State
2. Clemson
3. LSU
4. TCU

I get the feeling they won't drop OSU until they lose.

I would put Baylor in the top 4 over TCU. What has TCU done to deserve a top 4 ranking?

#1 LSU (the debate right now between Clemson and us is who is better, Notre Dame or Florida, I think Florida)
#2 Clemson
#3 Baylor (they have blown everyone out, they could almost be #1)
#4 Michigan State (I know they had to win it on a muffed punt, but their biggest win is better than Ohio State's, who has struggled vs. many teams
#5 Ohio State (no real impressive win yet)
#6 TCU (No impressive win yet, but no loss)
#7 Florida (Only loss #1 LSU, they have beat everyone else on their schedule, and pretty handily the only two wins that weren't impressive were Kentucky and Tennesse, but they are an entirely different team since then. )
#8 Bama (the loss to Ole Miss is looking worse and worse as each week goes by, that's not an exactly good loss, also two close wins against teams they should have handled well, if they beat LSU they will be in contention for a top 4 seed, There will not be more than 4 unbeaten at the end of the season, if Bama wins there will be no more than 3, so they are the top 1 loss team if they win out)
#9 Notre Dame (only loss #2 Clemson Bellow Florida and Bama well because they are SEC)
#10 Iowa (sleeper playoff team but they haven't beaten anyone yet)
#11 Utah (They need a lot of help to get in, the pac 12 may be left out)
#12 Oklahoma (if they beat TCU and Baylor in back to back weeks they will be the best 1 loss team behind a 1 loss SEC team.)
#13 Florida State (if they beat Clemson they have a chance, just not optimistic of that chance right now.)
#14 Memphis (if they win out they may get in the conversation, but they would need ALOT to happen for them to make it, basically either all 1 loss teams in the top 4, or maybe only 2 1 loss teams, and Memphis unbeaten.)

Bellow 14 the only three teams who have an outside chance is Houston (same situation as Memphis) Toledo (they may have no losses but their conference isn't that good) and North Carolina (if they upset Clemson in the ACC title, they may sneak in, especially if Clemson is #1 going in.)

One other thing, an interesting thing to watch is Memphis and
My predictions for the end of the season

I'm not going to call the LSU Bama game, the winner of that assuming they don't get upset is in. (Florida will also have a chance to get in over both if they beat either LSU or Bama in the SEC championship.)

IF LSU wins
#1 LSU
#2 Clemson
#3 Baylor/ TCU (I'll go with TCU)
#4 Michigian STate/Ohio STate (I'll go with Michigian State.)

IF Bama wins
#1 Clemson
#2 Baylor/TCU
#3 Micigian State/Ohio State
#4 Bama.

Unbeatens will get an advantage in ranking.

yeah, thinking Clemson get's #1 spot.

Not surprised at all if tOSU not #1 with the committee, as opposed to polls.

If behind TCU (or Stanford, or Iowa maybe) I'm inferring the love for points/offense and/or margin of victory is present, at least to some degree even if very slight.

This is very annoying to me. Personnally, I think the committee does a good job not prognosticating and "taking a snapshot of the here and now". But the heads on TV are all over the place when asked who's in [right now]. Like Robert Smith, putting LSU like 8th because he thinks we will lose to Bama and OM. Or Sehorn putting Stanford in there because he says they will be a 1-loss PAC 12 team and there will be only 1 undefeated (tOSU).
