1 regular season game left. I'm not even going to try and figure out all the conference championship permutations. Because of dedicated slots, the lowest ranked of the Top 12 are on the bubble.

College Football Playoff Rankings

18-30. Darn, the BYU win means that Iowa State rather than Colorado plays Arizona State for the Big 12 Championship. So close to two PAC-12 teams.

Another newbie:
Texas tops Texas A&M, to play for SEC title in first year
Hook 'em 'Horns, crush GA!

Then, the Pac-12's 1 Ducks play 4 Penn State in the Big 10 Championship.

I wonder if some historic members are regretting realignment. Except for the ACC (Clemson vs SMU) it could be a rookie sweep of the Power 4.

With my teams, you have to take the opportunities for celebration as they come, because you know there's a good chance there will be train wrecks and dumpster fires before the day's over. I can't say I'm surprised that UNC crashed and burned, even at Brown's last stand, but the 'Canes should be ashamed for putting Clemson in the championship. Lady O didn't expect much from the Huskies against the Ducks and she got it.

But hey, how 'bout Aztec basketball? 73-70 over #6 Houston.

Agreed x 4. I was just about to post this:

North Carolina Tar Heels lose in coach Mack Brown's finale

Hollywood Smothers slipped through the middle of the line for a 2-yard touchdown with 25 seconds left to help NC State beat rival North Carolina 35-30 on Saturday night in the Tar Heels' final game under Mack Brown.

Opps.

... That capped a wild finish that saw the Tar Heels (6-6, 3-5) take a 30-29 lead on Omarion Hampton's 47-yard catch and run to the end zone with 1:51 left in a huge day for UNC's top weapon. Hampton ran for 185 yards and a touchdown to go with four catches for 78 yards.

"Great time for me to get out; this isn't the game I signed up for," Brown said in his final postgame news conference. "I'm leaving it better than I found it."

The Tar Heels were coming off a lopsided loss at Boston College, which killed optimism about the team's trajectory during a three-game win streak immediately preceding it. Then came the announcement on Tuesday that Brown wouldn't return as coach to set this up as a farewell moment for the winningest coach in program history who also led Texas to the 2005 national title.

... After Saturday's loss, however, Brown told reporters that he won't coach the bowl, and that the loss to the Wolfpack was "another sign from God that it's time to go."...

Blame god? Does s/he care who coaches Bowl games?
