How does each top 8 team make the final 4?

#1 Georgia - Win and in, Lose and they will not be guaranteed a spot. Most likely they will need FSU to lose... that give them an argument. Winner of the Washington/Oregon is in. If Bama beats UGA they will be in or at least leap frog UGA, Assuming UM takes care of biz. you got a 1 loss Texas (that beat Bama at home) 1 loss UGA and 1 loss Ohio state. Who u picking??

#2 Michigan - Win and in, Lose and they will need a similar scenario from above to happen IE Bama to beat UGA and FSU to lose, But with a little extra chaos like Texas also losing to OK state. That probably would drop Michigan to a #4 spot joining, bama, UGA and wash/Oregon winner.

#3 Washington - Win and in, but its a must win. Hard to imaging a scenario where Washington could hold onto a #4 spot if they lose to Oregon. Unless all the underdogs win and wash loses and OT game to Oregon preventing the Ohio state should sneak in the 4th spot argument

#4 FSU - win and in (like 90% sure). It would get squirrely if Bama beats UGA, UM and Wash win and then its a argument of "should a 1 loss UGA" go over a Conference winning undefeated FSU team. Lots of eye test jargon crap going back and forth but ultimately i think FSU wins and they are in. They lose and they going to the peach bowl

#5 - Oregon win and in. Lose and Fiesta bowl here they come

#6 - Ohio state can't do anything. The buckeyes could sneak in but they need UGA, UM and Wash taking care of business and with an FSU and a Texas taking a loss. Short of that i dont see how they get in.

#7 - Texas needs A LOT of help... But they got a chance (like Jim Carrey in dumb and dumber) They can start with a convincing win. Then from there they need either UM and FSU to lose or possibly FSU lose with UGA losing by a lot to Bama. Either of those scenarios gives Texas a solid argument for the #4 spot.

#8 Alabama - they need a Win and help. Or a BIG win... like a 4 score win against the big bad dawgs and then maybe they don't need help. If Bama kicks UGAs a$$ like 44-14 (like 2018 Clemson

) are they really not going to make an argument that bama is a top 4 team. Most likely the SEC championship will be a one score game and i think bama will need a little help depending if UM, Wash and FSU all win... like Texas to losing
