College Football Playoff Showdown: Which Teams Are Poised to Shock the Nation in Week 13?
I don’t love that a 10-2 Notre Dame will clearly finish ahead of a 10-2 Miami that beat ND, but I do understand it, given how dominant the Irish have been since that narrow loss on the road in Week 1.
The Irish have a 97.2% chance of winning out, according to the Opta supercomputer, as well as a 99.8 playoff potential rating. Teams at 90 or above (max 100) should be the heavy favorites for a playoff spot.

Take Care of Business
Oregon is in as long as it beats USC at home and Washington on the road. The supercomputer gives the Ducks a 76.9% win probability against the Trojans. But neither of those is a gimme, and put together, there’s around a 50% chance Oregon drops one.
