Question of the week: Can Washington, Wisconsin win their way into Playoff?

Each week during the season, the USA TODAY Sports college staff (Paul Myerberg, Lindsay Schnell, George Schroeder, Erick Smith, Eddie Timanus and Dan Wolken) will provide their answers to an intriguing question from college football. This week:

Which of these four teams — TCU, Wisconsin, Washington or Auburn — has the best chance to play its way into the final four?

The answer is Wisconsin. Auburn’s path is just too difficult, and both TCU and Washington would need help. The Badgers are in the best position to help themselves by running the table, since they have the benefit of not having a loss.
