JMU has to be in as the fifth best conference champ in terms of ranking. They are ahead of ACC so they are in.

And IU went undefeated. Add in the absolute beatdown they gave us, and our wins against them are "mediocre" 
JMU or Duke must be in the field.
Has to be JMU right? Take out Vandy but I personally want to see Diego Pav. in the playoff field.
Teams that are absolutely in: IND, OSU, ORE, UGA, TAMU, OKLA, MISS, TTU
G5 Teams that are absolutely in: JMU, TULANE
It's a selection between these three, two of them must go: ND, MIAMI, BAMA.
Not gonna guess the order, but it will be the following teams (listed in order of their playoff rank coming into this week):
Ohio State
Indiana
Georgia
Texas Tech
Oregon
Ole Miss
Texas A&M
Oklahoma
Two of Alabama, Notre Dame, and Miami (my hunch is Alabama gets left out)
Tulane
James Madison
A 9-4 ACC champ Duke would. But an 8-5 ACC champ Duke, like this one was, likely doesn't.

And that is the politics that will be taking place overnight. SEC has 4 locks already, so the committee may opt to keep in ND and save face to keep the ACC involved.
If Bama ultimately drops out, it is because Duke won the ACC. If Virginia would have won, I think Bama is in over Miami.
My thoughts exactly. Besides, how do you justify having Notre Dame in over a team, Miami, that literally beat them?
As weird as it sounds, Alabama is the odd one out here. The question is does the CFP committee see at the same way we do?
If I had to rank the three based purely off eye test (not resumes): Miami, ND, Alabama in that order.

Not to mention Bama recent form is garbage. Lost to OU at home somewhat handily. Barely escaped 5 win auburn. Then got rolled in a near must win spot today. Meanwhile ND hasnāt lost since early September and Miami lost to 2 8-4 teams. No bad losses. Bama has an awful loss in week 1 at fsu. That might be the killer for them.
As for the CFP field:

Wish I could just stop caring about college football until the playoff is set.
There isn't a format out there above criticism and no one has any say in what the committee does. I just hope the games are as competitive as they can be. Unless we're in the playoffs then we should win every game by 30 please.
