College Football Playoff projections: No, the ACC isn't going to miss the postseason

The ACC is facing a complex scenario as it approaches the College Football Playoff (CFP) selections, but the likelihood of the conference being excluded from the playoff is low. Miami, despite being the highest-ranked ACC team in the CFP rankings, needs a specific set of outcomes in remaining games to secure a spot in the conference championship, and even then, it might require additional luck to qualify as an at-large team.

The ACC currently has four teams ranked in the AP poll, suggesting minimal changes in the upcoming CFP rankings. Teams like Pittsburgh, SMU, and Virginia have the best chances of reaching the ACC title game, and any of these teams winning the conference could push them ahead of James Madison in the final CFP rankings.

In the broader CFP landscape, Ohio State, Indiana, and Texas A&M are projected as champions of their respective conferences. Ohio State remains a key contender, with upcoming crucial games against Michigan and in the Big Ten title match. Indiana is favored to end the regular season undefeated
