The first College Football Playoff rankings release of the 2020 season is fast approaching (Nov. 24), but we don't need a selection committee to tell us that, as things currently stand and project, the quartet of teams playing for a national championship will most likely be Alabama, Clemson, Notre Dame and Ohio State.
That is still subject to change, of course, and it hinges on the expectation that Clemson will defeat Notre Dame in the ACC championship. What we think we know with six weeks remaining before Selection Sunday rarely holds up until the bitter end.
Florida and Miami are still lurking as one-loss contenders that could play spoiler.
