And who goes to the OB in that scenario?
IDK a team with a best win that tops a 7-5 F$U. My guess would be the Coastal winner. Whoever that is.

Can we tack a thread to the top of the boards explaining the OB selection process with remaining schedules so that the same conversation doesn't keep happening the next few weeks? Can include that the G5 champ has to be a champion and is the top ranked team.
The Coastal champ COULD be higher ranked than Wake at the end of the season but it would likely need to be VPI who got there after winning out (including ND next week) because otherwise that team would have four losses. Since no Coastal teams are currently ranked (or even receiving votes other than Pitt) it's going to be a tall task to get into the CFP rankings and maintain that spot ahead of Wake with a loss in their finale against Clemson if Wake ends 10-2 or 9-3.
This is why we're going to El Paso.
this page says the Orange Bowl will host the "highest ranked ACC team not ranked in the top four"
is there a more detailed page that states that this will be the highest ranked team according to the AP poll, and that in the event no teams are ranked within the top 25, we'll use "Others Receiving Votes" until we hit an ACC team?
I haven't found anything but asked on Twitter and got two direct messages from people who from my experience know what they're talking about (work for the ACC and/or ACC related entities) who said that the CFP would rank until they got to an ACC team.
I was literally just logging on to point this out.Both of ESPN’s analysts have us in the OB

Beating Clemson:
1) Helps us if we win all the other ACC games and make the ACCCG (then win that to get automatic OB berth worst case)
2) Hurts us if we lose another ACC game and Clemson wins out, because they're likely eliminated from the playoff and then take the OB berth
This also assumes Louisville doesn't win out, which they only had a .9% chance of doing before playing UVA last week. Without the updates for this week (and Louisville barely moved up at all in the rankings), even with the UVA win the chances of Louisville winning out were would only be 2.3%
Some form of aggregate listing of prognostications from the major outlets/journalists might be nice to include as well.Good call. It’d be nice to see our odds as each week passes, based on statistical data

Wake is the clear cut individual favorite to finish second right now based on the standings. I don't think they're better odds than the field, but since the individual bowl projections place specific teams into each bowl it makes sense that Wake gets OB berth in most projections.
