Summary
- The College Football Playoff committee may not penalize teams for conference championship losses.
- Alabama and Notre Dame need to improve rankings to secure playoff spots.

The penultimate College Football Playoff rankings carry immense weight as teams head into Championship Weekend. A key precedent suggests the committee may not penalize teams for losing their conference championship games, mirroring last year's outcomes.
This means current rankings are likely to hold firm, with the focus shifting to securing final spots. Alabama and Notre Dame, in particular, need to see their rankings improve to guarantee playoff inclusion. Miami's path to the playoff also appears dependent on a higher ranking this week.
With the structure of the playoff field becoming clearer, the final week's games will solidify the participating teams. The committee's adherence to past practices will be closely watched as the season culminates.
