Overview

• Florida State, despite losing star quarterback Jordan Travis, could challenge the College Football Playoff system if they win the ACC Championship and finish the season undefeated.
• Georgia, Michigan, Washington, and Florida State are all undefeated power-five schools and if they all win their conference championships, they would likely make up the four-team playoff field.
• Eight teams, including Ohio State, are still in contention for the College Football Playoff, making this the most crowded field of contenders in the system's 10-year history.
• Florida State's performance without Jordan Travis is under scrutiny, with questions about whether the team would still be considered for the playoff if they win the ACC Championship without him.
• Championship weekend could bring about a number of scenarios where it’s not clear who the committee would choose for the playoff, potentially leading to difficult decisions.
