Unprecedented Championship Weekend Could Upend College Football Playoff
Eight teams, including an undefeated Florida State without their star quarterback, vie for four spots in the most crowded field of contenders in Playoff history.
- 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.
