The college football season isn't even halfway over, but of course it's never too early to look ahead to the College Football Playoff.
At season's end, the selection committee will pick the four teams headed to the playoff in addition to four other bowl game matchups.
Per the rules set by the committee, teams will be chosen with an emphasis placed on "winning conference championships, strength of schedule and head-to-head competition."
In addition to comparing teams from the Power Five conferences, the highest-ranked team from the Group of Five conferences will also be placed in one of the six bowls.
