Seven teams will play in conference championship games this weekend with a realistic shot at College Football Playoff qualification, while an eighth (Ohio State) sits at home with a longshot avenue toward backdoor entry.

If the higher-ranked teams hold serve – Georgia, Michigan, Washington and Florida State – then it’s a tidy field of four undefeated teams from Power Five conferences.

If at least one of those undefeated teams fall, though, then the committee will face some hard choices.

On today's episode, hosts Blake Toppmeyer and John Adams unpack a series of hypothetical playoff scenarios in which Alabama upsets Georgia in the SEC Championship. Who's in, and who's out in each case? We explain the 2-step process for Alabama to earn playoff selection – and also how both Georgia and Alabama could qualify.
