Here is the top 20 list I found it includes
3 Academy's
7 Big Ten
3 ACC and P12 teams
1 SEC
If we had a playoff with these rankings it would toss up for the 4th spot but since the committees always give the benefit of the doubt to the SEC. Also no way that they let a non P5 school in even if they are undefeated so it would be
Northwestern vs Vandy
ttun vs Duke

A few years back I looked at the majors listed for one of the teams on this ranking. Of the players on their website, over 40 listed General Studies as their major. I have no idea what General Studies are but my guess is it's not as strenuous as Accounting or Biology. In the spirit of full transparency, a good number of the Ohio State kids list Exploring as their major - I guess this is a more clever way of saying Undecided.

The majority of the big time factory scholly kids are incapable of vigorous majors and even those that are academically and cerebrally suited for legitimate majors are often steered away because FB is such a full time 'job'. Interesting to do a research project about the 'cluster' majors at the WAAC factories. Alabama is stilll the only big time program ( I've found) too ashamed to list individual 'majors' in its press guide or anyplace else. I believe 'Exercise Science' is it's primary cluster/eligibility major for scholly kids but can't confirm. BTW 'General Studies' is usually a temporary major consisting of a bunch of easy electives as used by jocks beyond the basic University requirements. Some use the moniker 'University Studies'
