College Football Playoff rankings: Prediction

As long as Alabama, Clemson and Notre Dame remain unbeaten, they should take the first three spots in the CFP rankings — though it's possible the positioning could change.

Michigan seems strong at No. 4, as the Wolverines still have to play rival No. 10 Ohio State. But the Wolverines then have current No. 22 Northwestern in the Big Ten Championship Game. If the Wolverines win out, they should feel comfortable.

But one huge game could lead to intense debate. If Georgia, ranked No. 5 now, upset No. 1 Alabama in the SEC Championship Game, could the Crimson Tide somehow miss out on the CFP? Georgia would easily find a spot in the semifinals if it's 12-1. But could a 12-1 Alabama be left out in favor of a 12-1 Michigan? Or 12-1 Oklahoma?

Here's how we predict the CFP and New Year's Six Game will look:

• Peach Bowl: Florida vs. Penn State
• Fiesta Bowl: LSU vs. UCF
• Rose Bowl: Ohio State vs. Washington State
• Sugar Bowl: Georgia vs. Oklahoma
• Cotton Bowl (Semifinal): Alabama vs. Michigan
• Orange Bowl (Semifinal): Clemson vs. Notre Dame
