At 13-0,is an obvious lock.
But more to the point of whether this is sustainable until the playoff, here’s another stat: TCU is the first team to reach 10-0 with that many wins of 10 points or fewer in 28 years, and one of just three in the last 43 years. The others: Alabama 1994, Penn State 1985 and McNeese State 1979 . Assuming Georgia is the No. 1 playoff seed at 13-0 and the winner of Ohio State-Michigan is No. 2 at 13-0, the one-loss brigade could include Tennessee at 11-1, the Ohio State-Michigan loser at 11-1, USC at 12-1, TCU at 12-1 and the ACC champion at 12-1.Tennessee would have quality wins over LSU and Alabama and a loss to No. 1 Georgia on the road.
USC would have 12 wins, including a Pac-12 championship win over someone, perhaps Oregon . It would have a one-point road loss to Utah . It also would have wins over UCLA , Oregon State , Notre Dame and Washington State . And TCU could have 12 wins with or without a Big 12 title against an as-yet-unknown opponent. It would have wins over Oklahoma State , Kansas State and a trio of 6-4 teams .
