GRAPEVINE, Texas -- The 13 members of the College Football Playoff selection committee are gathered at the Gaylord Texan Resort, where they are watching the conference championship games together, the first time they've watched games as a group this season. It's the final chance for teams to make a playoff statement, and the Big 12 and Big Ten are taking center stage today, as the SEC winner, Notre Dame and Clemson should all finish in the top four (assuming Clemson doesn't suffer what would be an epic upset against Pitt).
As the day unfolds, this is a one-stop shop for how each of the championship games will impact the selection committee's deliberations, which are expected to go past midnight, and ultimately their final four, which will be revealed at 12:30 p.
