College Football Conference Championship Tracker: What All Nine Games Mean for CFP

The college football postseason is here. After 14 wild weeks, the conference championships kick off on Friday night, and will play a huge role in determining which 12 programs will take part in the College Football Playoff.

We can be pretty certain about two-thirds of the field. Ohio State and Indiana are in, no matter who wins the Big Ten championship, and Oregon will join them as an at-large. In the SEC, Georgia is safe regardless of Saturday’s championship game, and Ole Miss, Oklahoma and Texas A&M should already have their flights booked. Alabama is probably safe, though we’ll dive in on what lies ahead for the Crimson Tide, who face the Bulldogs in Atlanta, below. Texas Tech will make the CFP regardless of the Big 12 championship.
