College Football Playoff Projections After Championship Weekend
Full Transcript
As the College Football Playoff bracket approaches its reveal, projections highlight a competitive landscape following Championship Weekend. Indiana secured the No. 1 seed with a 13-10 victory over Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship, while Georgia triumphed over Alabama 28-7 in the SEC Championship, solidifying their spot at No. 3.
Texas Tech's 34-7 victory against BYU also ensured their place at No. 4. Alongside them, the playoff field is expected to include Oregon, Ole Miss, Texas A&M, Tulane, and James Madison, who won the Sun Belt.
The uncertainty lies with Alabama, Notre Dame, and Miami, with Alabama projected to drop to No. 10 after their loss but still potentially making the cut as the last at-large team. The selection committee's decision on these teams, particularly weighing Alabama's three losses against Notre Dame and Miami's two losses, will be pivotal.
The final bracket reveal is set for 9 a.m. PT on Sunday, December 7, 2025, where the first-round matchups will commence on December 19 and 20, followed by quarterfinals on December 31 and January 1, leading up to the National Championship on January 19 in Miami.
