I want to see which team is No. 10 and the current favorite to earn the last at-large spot in the field. Realistically, the ACC and top Group of 6 champion will take spots 11 and 12 in the final, real rankings, which means the cut-off line is 10th. In both major polls, Alabama had that spot, just behind Notre Dame and ahead of the likes of (in some order) BYU, Georgia Tech, Utah, Vanderbilt and Miami. Does the committee agree?

If Alabama is 11th, then the Tide will need help to move up, given a remaining schedule of Eastern Illinois and Zombie Auburn. Georgia Tech and Vanderbilt have ranked opponents remaining (Georgia and Tennessee), so I can envision them getting boosts if they win out.
