Below is an interesting blurb I read. If this is true, looks like the PAC 12 is out again.
All four playoff teams are currently in the top 10
In the first four years of the College Football Playoff, 14 of the 16 teams to make it were ranked in the top nine at the season's midpoint. The lone exceptions were the 2014 Ohio State Buckeyes and the 2015 Oklahoma Sooners. So while there's a path for a few teams outside the current top 10 -- Kentucky, Oregon and NC State could get in by winning out -- the truth is, we've already narrowed the likely contenders to a list of eight or nine.
