Geography and potential matchups are factors. ACC champ will likely go to Peach Bowl due to geography (that would be a slam dunk if Wake Forest wins, likely but not 100% if Pitt wins.) If Alabama misses the CFP, I think the Peach Bowl also would take Ole Miss (Peach Bowl was SEC vs. ACC prior to becoming a NY6 bowl.)

The wildcard is if Iowa beats Michigan. In that case, I think the Big 10 is shut out of the CFP, Iowa goes to the Rose Bowl as the Big 10 champ, and Michigan and Ohio State both wind up in Access Bowls. In that case, I think one goes to the Peach Bowl vs. the ACC champ, and the other goes to the Fiesta Bowl, likely against us.

If MIchigan loses to Iowa - I don't think they play ND. - domer4 2021-11-28 11:30:42
