2022 would be a very fun year for a 12-team playoff.
Alas, we're not getting an expanded playoff for another couple seasons. Just four teams will play for the national title at the end of the season again. And we've got a pretty good idea of who is in the pool of playoff candidates.
With the season halfway over for many college football teams, we figured it was a good time to take a look at the teams that have a chance of playing for the national title. Our list is sorted by conference and some conferences have more candidates than others.
