Okay so this is ESPN’s model. It’s like 538. They plug their data in and their computers whirl away and out comes the ten most likely CFP playoff combos ranked by percentage likelihood.

Pitt cracks the 10th-most likely playoff combination. 



If you had shown me this exactly one week ago at this time I would have laughed in your face and called you a stupid idiot and this still might be moot as soon as seven hours from now. But then the
played the most complete game against a respectable opponent that they had in years. And did it on the road. For ESPN's tenth most likely scenario to come to pass, all of the following, and perhaps more that I'm not thinking of, would have to occur: Pitt would have to win out; Oklahoma would have to lose twice; Alabama would have to lose another one; Michigan twice. So you're saying there's a chance? Yes, a 2% chance if all those things,among others, happen.
