2024 - What If we still had a 4 team playoff?

After several years of applying future rules to past results, let's flip the script and predict what a four team playoff would look like in 2024.

With four of the top five teams all playing each other in conference championship games, I think two of those games would have been play in games:

Big Ten - #1 Oregon vs. #3 Penn State
SEC - #2 Texas vs. #5 Georgia

I think in both cases, the winner is in, while the loser is out.

Notre Dame is sitting pretty at #4, knowing they should be going in as the #2 or #3 team based on the outcomes.

The debate for the fourth team would be interesting.  Would it be #6 Ohio State?  Or would certain outcomes in the conference championship games determine if the losers of those games don't fall so far.

I guess we'll see next week what the full extent of the "what if" would be.
