Notre Dame finishes reg season with 690 marbles. Marble counts of other top teams depending on conference championship game W/L

Clemson 714/531
Alabama 759/519
Ohio St 672/493
Georgia 704/460
Oklahoma 591/416

So if next weekend's games go as expected, the top 4 teams will be

1. Alabama 759
2. Clemson 714
3. Notre Dame 690
4. Ohio St 672

No muss, no fuss, no smoke-filled back rooms needed.

If Georgia pulls the upset on Alabama, Alabama would still be in top 4 but would need 2 losses from the set (Clemson, OU, OSU). Similar for Clemson, who can still make top 4 with a loss. Oklahoma can make top 4, but would need both Clemson and Ohio State to lose.

Example: in the unlikely event that Alabama, Clemson, Ohio State, and Oklahoma ALL lose, the Top 4 marble standings would be

1 Georgia 704
2 Notre Dame 690
3 Clemson 531
4 Alabama 519
