This week's playoff bracket maintains the same five conference champions as last week: Ohio State, Georgia, Miami, Utah, and UNLV, with seeding adjusting based on recent performance.
For the first time, all at-large berths were given to SEC (four) and Big Ten (three) teams, highlighting the dominance of these conferences in this week's rankings.
Despite a close loss to Michigan, USC remains in contention due to future opportunities against LSU and Notre Dame, which could enhance their playoff resume.
The selection committee's evaluation process is complicated among Texas, Tennessee, Alabama, and Ole Miss, especially if they each finish with 10-2 records and multiple ranked victories.
