Teams that most likely control their own destiny
Georgia, Minnesota, Baylor, Penn St
If Minnesota wins out, they'll be in. That's not up for debate. That'll have them with a win over Penn State and Ohio State, a Big 10 title, and an undefeated season.
ZERO chance that would be left out.

And wins over Iowa/Wisky. They'd have 4 top 25 wins

Here's the formula I think the committee will follow:
1st off, conference pecking order
1 SEC
2 Big 10
3 ACC* - we're including Clemson in this eval
4 Big 12
5 Pac 12
Record- undefeated team gets in, and seeded in order of conference.
Meaning, Alabama was going to be the #1 seed if they won out. Georgia was, if they did. LSU will be, if they do.
Ohio State will be the #2 if they win out, and LSU does too. Minnesota, I think, might inherit that, although it was intended for Penn State to take over if need be.
Clemson will be in, and ranked #3 if LSU and Ohio State remain undefeated.
Oklahoma would have been 4, I think Baylor would be 4 if they can run out.
If SEC, Big 10, Clemson and Oklahoma were to run out, Pac 12 would be left in the cold no matter what.
Now, 1 loss; that changes a lot.
SEC
Big 10
Pac 12
Big 12
ACC
SEC is a war zone, a 1 loss team isn't a shocker. Bama is pinning their hopes on that.
Big 10 is turning out like the SEC, but at a slightly lower level of competition. Teams like Penn State, Michigan and Wisconsin are dangerous for anyone.
Pac 12 jumps to 3rd here, because it's increasingly looking like they will get 2 11-1 teams in their championship. That's a solid matchup, no matter how you view the overall conference.
Big 12 takes a hit, because the championship is going to be a rematch game no matter what, and can only dilute conference strength. They need to add more (and legit) teams to balance that conference.
ACC- that conference sucks, with Clemson as the gorilla. If somebody can take Clemson down, they're going behind any other 1 loss team.
Modifiers- teams could, and should, get bumps for winning conference and division. Not enough to beat a team with a better record, but enough to beat a team with the same record. You should be out of contention without that, unless you still have a better record.
Meaning: Alabama at 11-1, should be behind all undefeated champs, and all 1 loss champs.
Penn State, had they beat Minnesota but lost to Ohio St (and thus go 11-1 like Alabama), probably behind Alabama in that call.
1 loss teams from conference tttle games- LSU, Ohio State fit into this somewhere, if they lose only in conference games.
Wildcard- Alabama is currently a national treasure, and there is and will be a lot of politicking.
