Another tough week-end in the playoffs of college football left us with eight main candidates and two more waiting for a lot of help. We said goodbye to LSU and Kentucky in the Southeastern Conference and Texas in the Big 12, and we were able to better understand the byte trajectories of the teams competing for four places.
Basically, this should boil down to a big eight game that will go the extra mile to clear things up over the next four weekends. The dashboard goes through the road map to Selection Sunday:

It's the closest thing to a challenge for the Tigers – and it really should not be too difficult. The best chance for the 7-2 Eagles seems to be a bad weather in the northeast, and current forecasts (although very early) predict a maximum of nearly 50 degrees. Clemson has won his last four games with a combined score of 240 to 36, a frightening succession of seal batons showing a team in full boiling last month. Provided the Tigers leave intact Boston, they end up with home games against 6-3 Duke and 5-3 in South Carolina, before qualifying for the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game for a real imbalance. The current favorite to win the Coastal Division is 5-4 at Pittsburgh, and the line on a Pitt-Clemson match would be somewhere in the 20's.

It's the game that could lose a bit of hype in the rivalry test two weeks later, while visiting Michigan in the state of Ohio. The Spartans (6-3) have returned to the path of hardcore defense, allowing only 13.5 points in four games. They kept Purdue 13 points on 27 October and Maryland 100 rushing on Saturday. And they had a hard time going back several times in recent seasons (but certainly not last year). The rebound of the state of Ohio after the Purdue debacle was a neglected Nebraska victory, which hardly inspired the belief that the Urban Meyer team was about to win a division title, a conference title or a playoff spot.

But Syracuse is also 98th nationally in total defense and 86th in yards allowed per game. If Ian Book takes care of football and the Irish defense does not let HQ Eric Dungey play in Syracuse, the Irish should leave Yankee Stadium 11-0 and 60 minutes from the playoffs.
