Could it be Houston and Louisville?

No, they play this year so it'll be one or the other

louisville can still make it in with a loss if they destroy clemson and have another ranked matchup in the ACC title

people were discussing this at sbnation

if they beat clemson they are #1, a close loss to houston likely puts them at 5 with the ACC championship left

A one loss ACC Team doesn't make the playoff.

If everyone else has 1 loss. yes; if not, you're right. The only one loss teams getting in are Alabama and Ohio State.

At best, the committee would make sure they were paired up in the first round

Sell, they won't let a G5 school into the playoffs. It's stupid and petty but that's the way it is

Based on P5 bias

We get it, Memphis fan.

Not surprising you'd think a Memphis fan is hating on Houston just because I'm supposed to........

I'd love nothing more than to see them get in the Playoffs. So stick your hatred, okay?

But you are hating lol.

If Houston beats Louisville and Louisville beats Clemson... they will have a great shot at the CFP. Houston will have the edge on Louisville for the CFP based on head-to-head and at this rate, the Big 12 is very unlikely to have an undefeated champion. Here are my predictions for the CFP:

Big Ten champion (likely Ohio State)
SEC champion (likely Alabama)
PAC 12 champion (I'm picking Stanford)
ACC champion OR Houston if they beat Louisville and Clemson doesn't run the table

Big 12 gets left out with an either 1-loss or (more likely IMO) 2-loss champion.

My best guess:

#1 - Alabama (13-0)
#2 - Louisville (13-0)
#3 - Ohio State (12-1)
#4 - Stanford (12-1)

No, actually I'm just saying it like it is, the powers that be will do all they can to keep a non-P5 school out of the playoffs, so you're going to have to give them no choice but to put you in. The BCS system might be gone but BCS bias is alive and well.

Apparently you are construing that as hating on Houston since I'm a Memphis guy...couldn't be further from the truth but keep that delusion alive

Again, you're basing this on nothing that has happened.

What are you basing this on? Non bcs teams made a bcs bowl plenty of times.

I think that if louisville beats clemson and clemson wins all it's other games and we are louisville's only loss, we and they get in over the pac. I think barring some craziness only b10 and sec are locks.

I could see that happening. I agree that the Big Ten and SEC champions are near locks at this point. The Big 12 is already screwed... I believe the only undefeated teams they have left are Baylor and WVU, and I doubt either of them gets through the Big 12 unscathed. Combine that with no championship game and a poor showing vs. other conferences and I would say their chances are slim.
