Army, Georgia Southern lost.
Oklahoma St., LSU, South Carolina, UCLA, Arizona, Cal lost for second time.
44 teams remain.
 
Out of curiosity because I'm too lazy to look but has any two loss team ever made the CFP?

I could see some SEC West team pull that off because of the teams they play.....just wondering because you're removing teams once they lost two but you never know.

Thanks for doing this though, it's fun to watch
 
The 44 ...

P5
ACC (9) - Louisville, Clemson, Wake, Fla St, NC St / VaTech, UNC, GaTech, Miami
B12 (6) - TCU, Baylor, WVa, Kansas St, Texas, Tex Tech
B10 (10) - Michigan, Mich St, Maryland, OhioSt, Indiana / Wisc, Nebr, Iowa, Minn, Purdue
PAC (5) - Stanford, Wash / Utah, ArizSt, Colorado
SEC (6) - Tenn, Fla, Ga / Alabama, TAMU, Arkansas

G5
AAC (3) - Navy, Houston, Memphis
MAC (2) - W Mich, Toledo
MTN (3) - Air Force, Boise, San Diego St

p5 teams in bold are undefeated

That said, a decent chance that the playoff teams are Alabama, B10 champ, Lou/Clem winner, Houston.

Some great games next week Washington-Stanford, Wisconsin-Michigan, Clemson-Lville.

The CFP is only in its third season, and no, no one with more than one loss has got in. I highly doubt a two-loss team will ever get in. I like the CFP more than the BCS or an 8-team playoff because it is a humongous double-elimination (in some cases, single elimination) tournament. The BCS left out P5 undefeateds occasionally (among others), while an 8-team playoff would have auto-bids ruining the meaning of non-conference games partially. The reason two loss teams are out is because they have not been in the discussion the previous two years.

Hard to believe that Purdue was still alive, but they were also eliminated today.

With the Noles out, that means the preseason #3,4,5,10,11,12,13,14 are gone.

My bad. Purdue lost for the second time.
31 teams remain.
 
I think Houston just lost its opportunity with Louisville losing to Clemson

Lsu in 2007 won with 2 regular season losses.


That's it for any 2 loss team since the 60's

Thanks, I think that's who I was thinking of but didn't realize it was that long ago and during the BCS era.
 
Michigan St. Lost for the second time.
31 teams remain.

While I agree for the most part with the premise that two losses will eliminate a P-5 school, there may be years where a two loss P-5 gets in.

There will never be a year where fewer than three P-5 schools make it (and that would be only in stray years with an exceptional G-5 who had enough quality P-5 wins while simultaneously there were not four P-5's to place above them).
If there aren't enough one or fewer loss P-5's, a two loss P-5 will sneak in.

If there were ever 2 G5 teams that made the playoffs they would play each other 1st round. Imagine two G5 teams beating Bama and Ohio state in the 1st round and two G5's playing for NC?. The apple cart would topple over.

That would never happen, though. You would need at least 3 P5 conferences and ND to have no body with less than two losses.

As of right now, we're looking at
Alabama v Washington
Clemson v Ohio St/Michigan winner

waiting in the wings: Baylor/WV winner, Texas A&M, Ohio St/Mich loser, Louisville

If the game is close, I would not be surprised by the OSU/UM loser getting in.
 
Stanford lost for the second time.
22 teams remain.

Agreed. UM/OSU loser and TAMU probably waiting in the wings at 5 and 6, respectively.

On another note, don't look now but here comes BSU after the "best of the rest" bowl spot. Houston has the tougher schedule but it's conceivable that BSU could run the table here.
