Road to the National Title (1 week to go)

*Order in each category is based on who has the best chance to get to title game

Open Road (Undefeated)
Florida State Seminoles
Last Game: 37-7 over Florida
Key Remaining Games: ACC Title Game (Duke)
Even though it's the ACC Title Game, they are playing against Duke.  Nothing against the Blue Devils who have had a great season, the Seminoles are the far superior team.

Ohio State Buckeyes
Last Game: 42-41 over Michigan
Key Remaining Games: Big 10 Title Game (Michigan State)
They dodged a huge bullet when Michigan's try at a two point conversion was incomplete.  The win along with a Alabama's loss puts the Buckeyes in the drivers seat.  Michigan State will be very tough, but having them with only one loss should allow them to play in the National Title Game.

Debris on the Road (One Loss)
Auburn Tigers
Last Game: 34-28 over Alabama
Key Remaining Games: SEC Title Game (Missouri)
Two games in a row the Tigers won on last second plays.  Those two wins put the Tigers in a great spot to sneak into the National Title Game.  They could easily jump Ohio State and then a win against Missouri put them in the title game.

Missouri Tigers
Last Game: 28-21 over Texas A&M
Key Remaining Games: SEC Title Game (Auburn)
The Tigers keep the momentum going with a big win over A&M that clinches their spot in the SEC Title Game.  They have a great shot at beating Auburn and could sneak their way into the Title Game even if Ohio State wins.

Road Closed
Alabama Crimson Tide
Their loss to Auburn on the last second field goal return is one of the worst ways to lose a game.  It also knocks them out of the National Title picture.  Not playing in the SEC Title Game gives them no chance. Tough break for a team that was number one all season long.
