College Football Playoff Bubble Watch after Week 10
ESPN • • sports
Key Points:
- The Big Ten now has only two playoff teams after Ohio State's loss: Indiana and undefeated UCLA, raising questions about Indiana's ranking and UCLA's position after their recent win.
- The SEC remains strong with five teams projected in the top 10, led by Georgia, Alabama, Texas, Tennessee, and Kentucky, though Kentucky's chances have diminished after a loss to Tennessee.
- The Big 12's playoff hopes rest primarily on Utah and Texas Tech, with Texas Tech's position precarious due to upcoming tough games; BYU remains on the bubble needing to win the conference to advance.
- Miami leads the ACC playoff chances despite a loss to Notre Dame, while Notre Dame is virtually guaranteed a playoff spot following their win against Miami and remains highly ranked.
- Boise State is the leading Group of 6 contender with a strong chance to reach the playoff, while New Mexico remains in the mix but faces challenges due to a weak strength of schedule.
