Who will make the college football playoff?
The Allstate Playoff Predictor breaks down which teams have the best chance to make this season's College Football Playoff.
12/01/2021
Championship Week is here.
And that means the remaining College Football Playoff contenders
(except Notre Dame) have one more chance to impress the committee by securing an all-important
conference title.
Since the playoff began in 2014, 24 of the 28 playoff participants have been
conference champions. And while Georgia enters the SEC title game as a near-lock to make it regardless
of result, all of the other contenders are facing must-win stakes.
So who will make it this
year? Make your picks below and see what the Allstate Playoff Predictor says.

Potential Chaos Points
If we've learned anything from the 2021 season, it's to expect chaos.
So where could it
come from this weekend?
Well, what if Alabama takes down seemingly invincible Georgia? That
would mean two SEC teams make the playoff and someone else is going to go home unhappy.
Is
there a scenario where the committee leaves out an undefeated Cincinnati? What if Cincinnati
narrowly beats Houston, while Oklahoma State dominates Baylor for its second consecutive top-10
win?
And no one is rooting for chaos more than independent Notre Dame. The Irish are riding a
seven-game winning streak, but are home this weekend. A few upsets could have the Irish
back in the playoff.
Your Final Results
Of course, it's the committee decision which teams feel vindicated and which will inevitably call foul, but this is what Playoff Predictor says the top six could look like if you chose correctly.
Chance it happens
How likely is it you picked all games correctly? Here's Playoff Predictor's take.
