Sorting through CFP field drama: 4 best teams, or political football?

Georgia and Ohio State are the current favorites for the top two spots in the College Football Playoff. There are two weeks left in regular season and then a round of conference championship games on Dec. 2-3.

The CFP field drama is between the four best teams and the most deserving ones.

The CFP field is determined by the conference championship game, the schedule and other factors. The committee has changes each year and the two semifinal games will be played in Atlanta and Glendale, Arizona. They will meet in the CFA Championship Game on January 9 at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.

The CFP field drama is sorted into four teams.

Tennessee is 9-1 and needs a TCU loss to get into the CFP. The Vols beat Missouri 66-24. They play at South Carolina and Vanderbilt to finish the season.

The TCU team is undefeated and would get into the CFP if it won't lose. The team beat Texas 17-10 in front of College GameDay. TCU plays at Baylor and at home to Iowa State before the Big 12 Championship Game.

Michigan is 10-0 and in control of its own destiny. The Wolverines have a pitiful non-conference schedule. Michigan needs to win against Illinois, at Ohio State and the Big Ten Championship Game to be considered for the CFP.

USC is 9-1 and the Pac-12's only hope at making the CFP field. They need to beat UCLA, home against Notre Dame and win in the title game to make the field, but if they do that, they will be hard to pick.

Clemson is 9-1 and in the CFP standings. The Tigers have home games with Miami and South Carolina. They play North Carolina in ACC Championship Game.

LSU is 8-2 and looking to become the first two-loss team to make the CFP. The team finishes with UAB and a trip to College Station to play Texas A&M before meeting Kirby Smart’s Bulldogs on Dec. 3 in Atlanta.

The Tar Heels beat Wake Forest 36-34 to stay in the one-loss fraternity. North Carolina would need chaos to make the four-team field, in addition to winning out over Georgia Tech, NC State and Clemson in ACC Championship Game.
