What's the biggest obstacle in the Big 12's playoff path? There's more than one 'pressing concern'

Chuck Carlton, Big 12 beat writer for SportsDayDFW.com and The Dallas Morning News, answered your questions about the league in a live chat Wednesday. Below are highlights, edited for clarity:

Is Michigan the Big 12's biggest enemy when it comes to reaching the College Football Playoff? Gotta think Georgia will take a loss in the SEC title game.

Carlton: No, no, no. Michigan winning the Big Ten wouldn't be a major problem for the Big 12 in the playoff. A much more pressing concern is Notre Dame going undefeated and stealing a spot from the Big 12 (or another power conference).
