Which Conference Championship Will Ignite the Biggest College Football Playoff Mayhem?

A BYU victory would give the Cougars an autobid and result in a current at-large team getting bounced. For the moment, that at-large team would be idle No. 10 Notre Dame, which for some reason* got jumped by No. 9 Alabama this week despite the Irish destroying a bad Stanford team and Alabama barely surviving against an Auburn team that missed a bowl. (Committee chairman Hunter Yurachek says it’s because Auburn’s a hard place to play. OK, Hunter.)
*To me, this scans as the committee doing legwork to avoid the psychological challenge of removing Alabama from the field if it doesn’t win the SEC Championship. That means if Alabama and BYU both win their championship games, Notre Dame is out.
