Ahead of Tuesday night's fourth rankings release, Heather Dinich picks the CFP field of 12 and the eight teams on the bubble, then ranks the best of the Group of 5.
Week 13 changed the College Football Playoff picture drastically when six of the top 16 teams in the selection committee's rankings lost, with four of the losses coming against unranked opponents.
One of the committee's biggest questions Tuesday night will be how far it drops three-loss Alabama following the Tide's disastrous performance in a loss to Oklahoma. For now, this is what the seeding and bracket would look like based on the committee's projected top 25 for this week -- plus a look at eight more teams who could play their way in, and how the Group of 5 race stacks up.
The Longhorns have won four straight games since their Oct. 19 home loss to Georgia, and would be the committee's top SEC team as the projected winner this week. This could change if Texas loses to Texas A&M on Saturday in the regular-season finale. The Longhorns need to beat the Aggies to clinch a spot in the SEC championship game.
