Most or all of these assume Bama makes the Playoff.

If the Big 12 champ makes the Playoff, then Bama goes to the Sugar Bowl, in which case the Orange Bowl might take Ole Miss to face the ACC champ in the Peach Bowl, leaving ND to face the 3rd place Big 10 team or Baylor in the Fiesta Bowl.

With Bama, I suspect they'll get leapfrogged by Ohio State on Tuesday, and will remain #3 behind the winner of the OSU-UM showdown. It's hard to see them moving down only one spot from #3 to #4 if they have a decisive loss to Georgia and either OU or OSU have back to back wins over top 10ish teams.

[Edit: Ignore the reference to the Orange Bowl in the first paragraph. I meant to refer to the Peach Bowl, and it was an atrociously written sentence regardless.]
