Alabama-Texas will carry a lot of implications for the CFP, but what other teams in Week 2 will be shaping the playoff?
History also suggests the loser of this game is unlikely to be selected to the CFP. Since the four-team playoff began in 2014, only one team has made the CFP with a regular-season loss in nonconference play. That was Ohio State in 2014.was one of the biggest winners in Week 1, seeing its playoff chances jump from 13% to its current 35%. The Sooners benefited not only from their own dominant win, but also subpar performances by other CFP contenders.
A win at NC State, ranked 41st in FPI, won't be a big needle-mover for Notre Dame's playoff chances, but it will keep it in the mix with a big game against Ohio State looming in two weeks.
