How CFP Will Be Impacted by Every Conference Championship Game Scenario
Four key Championship Week scenarios could alter the College Football Playoff rankings, with Group-of-5 teams potentially claiming spots, said analysts tracking recent poll trends.
- This year, Championship Week will determine which teams reach the playoff, as conference championship games decide key berths and Group-of‑5 winners could reshape the 12-team tournament.
- Season-Long unpredictability has left the committee with messy choices as preseason top teams faltered and prior precedents, including last year's Clemson bid theft and SMU's 13th game, support unusual picks.
- In a Nov. 8 rematch, Brigham Young Cougars seek redemption after a 29-7 loss to Texas Tech Red Raiders, needing greatly improved Bear Bachmeier and offense to limit Tech under 28 points.
- Playoff rules granting five automatic champion spots mean an ACC upset reshuffles Group‑of‑5 access, as Duke Blue Devils’ potential win could secure their ACC berth and affect James Madison Dukes’ chances.
- An Alabama win over Georgia could change the top-four seeding picture, while Ohio State vs. Indiana will likely determine top-four seeds and influence the Heisman race involving Fernando Mendoza and Julian Sayin.
