College Football Playoff predictions: Joel Klatt's projected field, 27 teams in the mix

Summary

72% Informative

The College Football Playoff committee releases its first rankings on Tuesday .

This year is the first season of the 12 -team playoff.

There are 27 teams that still have a legitimate shot at making the CFP .

The committee's first ranking reveal always gives us a good picture of how the committee views each team.

At 8-0 , the Ducks probably have the cleanest path to the CFP out of any team in the nation.

Penn State should make it if they go 11-1 , but if they lose two games in November , they might be one of the 10 -2 teams that I think misses the postseason because they'd lack a marquee win.

The path for the Big 12 is pretty obvious: Keep winning, and you'll probably get in.

Boise State will be the Group of 5 representative if it wins the Mountain West .

UNLV has been getting some love from the AP Top 25 Poll at points this season .

Army is likely getting that Group of 5 spot if it runs the table and Boise State goes down.
