Six of the nation’s top teams battle for titles today. Their results will directly shape the final College Football Playoff field. The selection committee’s toughest debates are about to begin.

Committee chair Hunter Yurachek outlined the process on ESPN. He confirmed every game will be evaluated one last time before Sunday’s final rankings are revealed.

Bubble Teams Sweat Results They Cannot Control

Notre Dame and Miami are in a precarious spot. Both teams finished 10-2 and are not playing today. Their fate now rests on other games.

Alabama’s recent jump over Notre Dame showed how the committee values late-season wins. According to ESPN’s coverage, the Tide’s road win at Auburn was deemed more impressive than Notre Dame’s victory at Stanford. This logic will be applied again tonight.

Head-to-Head Wins and Schedule Strength Are Key Tools

Yurachek stated the committee uses a full toolbox for final rankings. This includes strength of schedule, head-to-head results, and common opponents. Games like the ACC championship can shift these metrics for idle teams.

For teams like Texas Tech, a win likely secures a top seed. For others, a loss creates major complications. The committee promises to weigh every detail before selecting the twelve-team field.

The drama of Championship Saturday will culminate in a tense CFP Selection Sunday. The committee’s final deliberations will determine which twelve teams continue their national title dreams.

What happens if Alabama loses to Georgia?

Alabama would still have a strong case for an at-large bid. However, their ranking could fall, potentially allowing another bubble team to move up.

Can Notre Dame still make the playoff?

Yes, but it is not guaranteed. The Irish need the committee to value their 10-game win streak highly enough to offset not playing a conference championship game.

Why did Alabama jump Notre Dame last week?

The committee was impressed by Alabama’s road win over Auburn. They compared it directly to Notre Dame’s road win at Stanford and favored the Tide’s performance.

How does the ACC championship affect Miami?

The result between Duke and Virginia can affect strength of schedule metrics for Miami. This is a factor the committee will reconsider in its final evaluation.

Is Texas Tech a lock for the playoff?

Virtually yes. A win in the Big 12 championship should secure a first-round bye. A loss might still see them get in, but likely without the bye week benefit.
