ESPN college football analyst Heather Dinich tweeted out the four team she thought the College Football Playoff Committee would pick to get into the Playoff today and she left off out one title contender and conference.
My guess is Bama, TCU, Georgia and Clemson. Clem opponents 23-17 combined, 4 over .500. https://t.co/fc0OIRm6uX

She then mentioned that Wisconsin specifically would be left out because of their soft schedule so far this season.
Wisconsin has beaten zero teams above .500.

Those are things committee looks at, not just Wisky's 6-0 record.

She then went on to say that Clemson is still not done in the CFP despite the loss to Syracuse on Friday. And that's mostly due to their resume right now.

Clemson also got into the Playoff last year with a loss so the Tigers definitely shouldn't be counted out yet. Especially if they run the table and win convincingly in the ACC Championship Game whoever it may be. Penn State and Wisconsin should make headway on their CFP cases with some more wins on the resume and if either ends up in the Big Ten Championship Game without a blemish on their record then the conversation gets much more interesting.
