2022-2023 College Football Playoff Projections
There’s no reason to change things yet, and there won’t be any reason to change things once the first round of College Football Playoff rankings are released.
Remember, the weekly rankings are a snapshot – they all change up in the end after the championship games are over.
At least in theory, the CFP committee cares first about winning a conference championship, and then it gets to record. It has to keep being repeated – no 12-win Power Five conference champion has been left out with the exception of 2018 when Ohio State was out for 12-0 Notre Dame.
Will the committee determine that a – possible – 11-1 Georgia-Tennessee loser or 11-1 Michigan-Ohio State loser should get in? Maybe – the committee can do whatever it wants – but there will probably be four unbeaten or one-loss Power Five champions, and possibly five.
The assumption will be that the committee will stick with its precedent until it doesn’t.
