Here it is... you can click winners of the conference championship games and see who gets in based on various outcomes.
Looks like we're in regardless, but it's surprising how many times Ohio State comes up as the 5th team, or gets in, even if we lose. There seems to be more of a bias to making and losing your conference championship game, than not making it.
For example, if UW loses to Oregon, UW would drop below OSU in the rankings, somehow. It would take a miracle for OSU to get in again though... their best shot seems to be in UGA, Louisville, and UW all win. That knocks out FSU, Bama, Oregon, and Texas (all ahead of Ohio), and gives OSU an 83% chance to make it.
