But, MSU handles Penn
State... so, OK, here are some predictions for Michigan State in the College
Football Playoff. Note that the Orange Bowl (Miami) gets seeds 1-4; Cotton Bowl (Dallas)
gets seeds 2-3.
Probable scenarios
assuming MSU wins Big Ten title vs. undefeated Iowa, Clemson beats South
Carolina, and Alabama defeats Auburn.
- Everyone wins out. MSU gets #4 seed. Book your rooms in Miami.
- Clemson loses ACC title. The rest win out. MSU gets #3 seed. Book Dallas.
- Alabama loses SEC title. The rest win out. MSU gets #3 seed. Book Dallas.
- Clemson loses ACC title. Alabama loses SEC title. MSU gets #2 seed. Book Dallas... or, MSU gets #1 seed pending tight win by Oklahoma; then, Book Miami.
- Oklahoma loses to Ok St. The rest win out. MSU gets #3 seed. Book Dallas.
- Clemson loses ACC title. Oklahoma loses to OK St. MSU gets #2 seed. Book Dallas.
- Alabama loses SEC title. Oklahoma loses to OK St. MSU gets #2 seed. Book Dallas.
- Clemson loses ACC title. Alabama loses SEC title. Oklahoma loses to Ok St. MSU gets #1 seed. Book Miami.
If MSU wins vs
Penn State but loses Big Ten Title? It
would likely play #9 Stanford in the Rose Bowl.
Book Pasadena.
If MSU loses
to Penn State? It would get the #3 Big
Ten spot, the Capitol One Bowl. Book
Orlando.
