"The College Football Playoff selection committee will reveal its first ranking at 8 p.m. ET on Tuesday on ESPN, giving us our first look at what the 12-member group thinks about the playoff pecking order after 10 weeks. It's far from over, as teams still have ample opportunities to build -- or bust -- their résumés. Separation, though, is starting to occur, and the Bubble Watch is tracking it for you."
"Teams with Would be in status below are featured in this week's top 12 projection, a snapshot of what the selection committee's ranking will look like when it's released later Tuesday. For each Power 4 conference, we've listed teams as Last team in and First team out. These are the true bubble teams hovering around inclusion. Teams labeled Still in the mix haven't been eliminated, but have work to do. A team that is Out will have to wait until next year."
"The Rebels are in a safe spot, but they're not a lock if they don't run the table. With remaining games against The Citadel, Florida and at rival Mississippi State, there's no possibility of a "good loss" remaining, and historically, losing in November has been far more damaging to playoff hopes than losing earlier in the season. Ole Miss shouldn't lose; it has at least a 72% chance of winning each of its remaining games."
The College Football Playoff selection committee will publish its first ranking at 8 p.m. ET on ESPN after 10 weeks of the season. Twelve committee members will evaluate teams while separation among contenders begins to form. Bubble Watch tracks teams labeled Would be in, Last team in, First team out, Still in the mix and Out to indicate inclusion likelihood. Categories reflect the committee's historical tendencies and current team resumes. Conferences are ordered by projected number of bids. In the SEC, Alabama, Georgia, Ole Miss and Texas A&M are projected in, with Ole Miss the last team in but not guaranteed.
