Louisville is basically out of the CFP picture and plays 4 no-name games to finish the season. Lamar is going to be totally off the radar unless he starts scoring 8-10 TDs per game

but it's going to be hard for him to keep the spotlight over these next few weeks. It's become boring nationally to talk about Lamar Jackson scoring a ton of TDs against no one. He's going to be out of the national spotlight. As a playoff contender, Jabrill has at least 3 big chances to make Heisman plays in the spotlight: Iowa in primetime, OSU & a theoreticaly B1G title game

Yes, it does matter. The committee likes to drop you a position if you don't win as big as they'd like you to. If we only beat indiana by a couple scores, i wouldn't be shocked if we dropped one spot. I'd rather fall from 2 to 3 instead of from 3 to 4 and play alabama if we don't win big enough. Much like what happened to undefeated Florida State two years ago.

it doesn't matter.  There is zero chance if we win out that we'd be number 4.  Zero.

So even if we drop after a so-so performance before OSU, winning out, which will include wins at OSU and in the title game against another top 10 team, will absolutely put us in the top 3, probably number 2, but doesn't matter at that point.  There is no need to worry about anything but a loss.
