SEC and Big Ten Poised to Dominate College Football Playoff Field

As of November 11th, 2025, the College Football Playoff picture is starting to take shape with three weeks remaining in the season. According to the article, the SEC and Big Ten conferences are poised to dominate the playoff field, likely claiming 6 of the 7 available at-large spots.

The ACC, once considered a contender for multiple playoff berths, has seen its chances diminished after losses by Louisville and Virginia last weekend. However, Georgia Tech remains a possibility if they can win their final three games, including a victory over rival Georgia.

The Big 12 could earn a second playoff team if Texas Tech and Brigham Young University both win out, setting up a rematch between the two in Arlington, Texas. BYU is currently projected to be in the playoff field, but their game against Cincinnati looms large.
