The new 12-team College Football Playoff was built for years exactly like this one.
You’ve got:
- Ohio State rolling to 12–0 in the regular season, then losing 13–10 to Indiana in a rock-fight Big Ten title game.
- Georgia handling Alabama 28–7 in the SEC Championship to grab another league crown.
- Texas Tech going 11–1, winning its league, and beating BYU twice
- Oregon at 11–1 as a Big Ten member, sitting at No. 5.
- Ole Miss and Texas A&M both 11–1, stacked right behind them.
- Tulane at 10–2, beating North Texas to finish as the highest-ranked Group of Five champion.
