College Football Playoff: 31 teams that can make the CFP - ESPN
According to ESPN Research, there are 28 teams with at least a 10% chance to reach the College Football Playoff this season. One notable difference in the 12-team format this fall is that each Power 4 conference champion is guaranteed a spot in the field — which means that any team with a shot at winning the Big Ten, SEC, Big 12 and ACC is a legitimate CFP contender. Notre Dame is also guaranteed an automatic bid if it finishes in the top 12 on Selection Day.
