Everything comes together for the College Football Playoff selection committee.
Just four weeks ago, there were 13 undefeated or one-loss teams in the Power Five conference. That number was cut to 11 a week later, while a two-loss playoff contender was added in No. 14 LSU.
Of those twelve teams, only five have emerged as realistic playoff options with one Saturday left in the regular season.
No. 1 Georgia is a lock heading into the SEC championship game against the Tigers. Likewise with No. 2 Michigan entering the Big Ten Championship against Purdue. No. 3 TCU is in great shape, even with a loss in the Big 12 championship game. No. No. 4 Southern California is set for a rematch with No. 11 Utah to settle the Pac-12.
