The College Football Playoff field is mostly set. The bubble isn’t very big, but the central debate heading into the conference championship games seems clear: Will the committee elect to place three-loss Alabama into the field ahead of two-loss Miami — or even SMU if the Mustangs lose the ACC title game against Clemson?

Hurricanes have some weak schedule metrics, but they were also ranked sixth last week. I do not believe the committee will drastically downgrade them for a four-point road loss.
