CFB Playoff Picture, Standings and Bracket Predictions After Week 14 of 2025-26 Season

Our Summary
The College Football Playoff field is beginning to solidify following key victories over the weekend. The Oregon Ducks, Oklahoma Sooners, and Ole Miss Rebels have secured their playoff spots with wins. Although the Texas A&M Aggies lost, they are guaranteed a playoff position at 11-1, despite not appearing in the SEC Championship Game. The focus now shifts to the Alabama Crimson Tide and Notre Dame Fighting Irish, ranked 9th and 10th, respectively. These rankings are critical as they represent the last two at-large spots, making any potential losses for these teams significant.
Texas A&M, previously ranked third, will likely drop to the 6th or 7th spot after their loss, which excludes them from the SEC Championship Game but confirms their playoff inclusion. The Georgia Bulldogs are set for the SEC title game against either Alabama or Ole Miss, with Alabama needing a win over Auburn to secure their spot.
