Bowl Projections: Fourth Spot Remains Up for Grabs After Oregon Loss

Joe Camporeale-USA TODAY Sports

Oregon was knocked out of the playoff picture with a loss to Arizona State on Saturday, but the race for the fourth and final spot remains murky with two weeks to go. Georgia winning out would likely make for a simple decision from the committee, but a loss to LSU in the SEC title game could create one of the longer debates in playoff history.

Oklahoma and Utah could have dueling résumés as one-loss conference champions. Alabama could finish 11–1, with the Crimson Tide’s lone loss coming to the best LSU team in recent memory.
