The College Football Playoff race remains dynamic as teams vie for coveted spots with only two weeks left before conference championship games commence. The Southeastern Conference (SEC) is positioned to claim a significant number of berths, with projections indicating four spots for its teams, alongside its conference champion.

Notre Dame appears to be in a favorable position for a playoff invitation, contingent on winning their upcoming matchups. Meanwhile, the ACC and Big 12 conferences are unlikely to secure at-large bids, focusing instead on their champions. The Big Ten and SEC are expected to contend for the remaining spots.
