MN would have to win out and win the conference to sniff the CFP. If they can unseat tOSU, then maybe.
Instead, I took from today's game, that PSU was not as good as believed. I still don't have faith in MN. I'd take a one-loss SEC team (non conf champ) over undefeated MN, just because unabashed homerism).
Next question - CLEM is reigning champ, undefeated, and put down to 5th heading into this weekend. Yes 1-4 will knock at least two contendors out, but should CLEM be kept in the conversation? Are they losing poll positions in a way that might keep them on the outside? There isn't any ACC games to help their SOS and ability to make a statement.
