The top of the college football world is filled with several unbeaten and one-loss teams. Which two-loss teams can make a run at spoiling the party?

Week after week, the College Football Playoff (CFP) picture becomes a little more clear. While there are still a lot of questions to be had on who deserves a top four spot, one thing that can be taken out of every week is which teams are eliminated from contention.

For instance, when Ohio State pummeled Michigan State in Week 11 or even when that very same Michigan State team defeated Penn State the week prior, it was clear that both the Spartans and Nittany Lions had a very minuscule shot to climb the ladder.

Taking a look at the current rankings, the top six- which is the ideal place to be right now, is filled with undefeated teams as well as a couple of one-loss teams. To this day, no two-loss program has ever made the CFP, although Wisconsin came close a year ago to doing so.

As college football enters a light schedule in Week 12, there are still several two-loss teams lingering around that could make some noise as the season moves on.

While the odds are stacked against them, each of the following three teams still have ample opportunities in front of them and will have a major say as to who makes the playoff, even if it is not themselves.
