"With only three Saturdays remaining before Selection Day, the College Football Playoff field includes 19 Power 4 teams still in contention to compete for their respective conference titles ahead of the committee's third of six rankings on Tuesday night (8:30 p.m. ET, ESPN). Six teams (Virginia, Georgia Tech, SMU, Miami, Duke and Pitt) are still alive in the ACC race. Four teams (Alabama, Georgia, Texas A&M and Ole Miss) are still eligible to reach the SEC championship game -- and there are no SEC clinching scenarios in Week 13, according to ESPN Research."
"The bubble watch accounts for what we have learned from the committee so far -- and historical knowledge of how they operate. Teams with Would be in status below are in this week's bracket based on the latest top 12 projection. These are the true bubble teams hovering around inclusion. Teams labeled Still in the mix haven't been eliminated, but have work to do and may need help."
Nineteen Power Four teams remain in contention for conference titles with three Saturdays left before Selection Day. Six ACC teams — Virginia, Georgia Tech, SMU, Miami, Duke and Pitt — remain alive in the ACC race. Four SEC teams — Alabama, Georgia, Texas A&M and Ole Miss — remain eligible for the SEC championship, with no SEC clinching scenarios in Week 13. The Big 12 has no locks, with Texas Tech, BYU, Cincinnati and Arizona State still able to reach the title game. Ohio State and Indiana lead the Big Ten, but Oregon, USC and Michigan can technically reach the conference championship. Current projections use "Would be in," "Last team in," "First team out," "Still in the mix" and "Out" labels and will adjust after Tuesday night's committee rankings.
