Of the 11 P5 teams, only 1 is guaranteed to exit. (One of the SEC three will get knocked out).

Would be crazy to have to pick 4 from that 10.

  • Louisville def FSU in ACC CG
  • Penn St def Mich & Mich def Ohio St
  • Ore def Wash in PAC CG
  • Ga def Ole Miss & Bama def Georgia in SEC CG
  • Lou, FSU, PSU, OSU, Mich, Ore, Wash, Ga, Bama, Tex win all other games

I know Liberty fits according to your rules, but they are nothing more than a glorified FCS team this year.
The top 30 teams could all get sidelined with mono, and the committee still wouldn’t take the Flames.
 
Nobody was eliminated yesterday.

10 teams still remain.

IMO, the G5 order of operations.

If Tulane wins, they are in.
If SMU wins, they will leapfrog Liberty.

That's it folks.

Shout out to JMU & Jacksonville State....both deserve to be in bowl games this year...According to this, they are:

While JMU didn't enter the year eligible for a bowl game, NCAA rules allow for second-year transitioning teams to make a bowl game if there aren't enough 6-6 teams. After Saturday's results, there's a shortage of 6-6 teams, and JMU and Jacksonville State are both reportedly going to fill bowl slots.11 hours ago
 
Oregon is eliminated.

8 teams remain.

Washington is the 1st team to clinch a CFP place.
 
Florida State and Michigan have clinched places in the CFP due to being undefeated P5 conference champs.

Liberty is eliminated by virtue of playing in a G5 league and there being too many P5 teams left with less than two losses.

Georgia and Ohio State are eliminated by virtue of not winning a conference championship.

Alabama is eliminated by virtue of losing to Texas head to head.

Texas is the final team to clinch a CFP berth.

4 teams remain (in order of seed 1-4):

1. Michigan
2. Washington
3. Florida State
4. Texas
 
Though I originally thought SMU would pass Liberty, I think two losses is too much to overcome for the Mustangs given that the AAC was down this year.

Liberty will be the G5 NY6 bowl representative.

Unfortunately, look for Texas to be #3 and Alabama #4.
