College Football Playoff predictions: Who's most likely to make the field

play
Georgia dominates Alabama in SEC title game (1:18)

Georgia takes home the SEC crown after crushing Alabama 28-7. (1:18)

On the eve of the final College Football Playoff rankings, we think we know several teams that were locked into bids no matter what happened during the conference championships.

The drama is around how results will order the at-large bids, especially Notre Dame and Miami. After a 21-point loss to Georgia on Saturday, you can add Alabama to the group that will have to sweat out the bracket reveal.

Texas Tech dominated BYU in the Big 12 title game to lock in a top-four seed. The Red Raiders' defense forced four turnovers in the 34-7 win.

Indiana's 13-10 win over Ohio State won't steal a bid since both teams were locks to be in the field, but it will give the Hoosiers the top seed. Duke's upset of Virginia opens the door for two Group of 5 teams to make the field and the ACC champion to be left out.
