Which Conference Championship Will Ignite the Biggest College Football Playoff Mayhem?
Not quite, however.
The Playoff guarantees spots for the five highest-ranked conference winners. In 98 years out of 100, those would be the winners of the four power conferences. But we are right on the verge of being in one of the other two years.
Duke has five losses but made the ACC Championship game on a tiebreaker technicality over Miami, Georgia Tech, Pitt and SMU, only one of which it even played this year. (And Duke lost that game to Georgia Tech.)
Tuesday night’s selection committee rankings release made it clear: The ACC is on the verge of missing the CFP. All it would take is Duke beating 10-2 Virginia as a 3.5-point underdog and James Madison avoiding one of the sport’s biggest upsets in years in the Sun Belt Championship.
