The season is almost over. We’re down to one more projection before Championship Saturday and Selection Sunday. Here is the Top 12 and the first five out:
As it stands right now, the bids are as follows:
B1G: 4 (Oregon, Penn State, Ohio State, Indiana)
SEC: 4 (Texas, Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama)
ACC: 1 (SMU)
Big 12: 1 (Arizona State)
Independents: 1 (Notre Dame)
G5: 1 (Boise State)
Five Five Out:
Miami
Ole Miss

Bracket:
Current Matchups:
12 vs 5: Arizona State @ Penn State/vs 4 SMU
9 vs 8: Ohio State @ Tennessee/vs 1 Oregon
11 vs 6: Alabama @ Notre Dame/vs 3 Boise State
10 vs 7: Indiana @ Georgia /vs 2 Texas
At Large Teams Who Are Safely In:
Loser of SEC Championship Game (Georgia/Texas)
Loser of B1G Championship Game (Penn State/Oregon)
Indiana
Notre Dame
Ohio State
Tennessee
At Large Teams Who Need Insurance:
Alabama: Need SMU to win or a Clemson blowout of SMU to ensure the ACC doesn’t steal an at large bid. If Clemson blows out SMU, that would leave SMU with 0 Top 25 wins and two losses with one that is a blowout in the Championship Game.
Teams Who Need To Win Their Conference Championship Game:
Clemson
Iowa State
Boise State (G5 would only get one bid)
UNLV (potentially the highest rated G5 Champ with a win)
Arizona State
