16 Scenarios Going into Conference Football Championships

Alabama will be in the college football playoffs, but going through the 16 possible scenarios of four conference playoff series I see 14 cases in which I would put Notre Dame in the playoffs  - with Clemson, Ohio State and Georgia all making it if they win and Oklahoma, Central Florida and Texas all needing help.

Team	Scenarios
Alabama	16
Notre Dame	14
Clemson	8
Ohio State	8
Georgia	8
Oklahoma	4
UCF	4
Texas	2
16 scenarios = 64 spots	64

The scenarios below assume Central Florida beats Memphis. The first three columns show the winners of three games Saturday assuming Clemson also wins, and then an extra column for who would replace Clemson if they were upset by Pitt.
