With 6 College Football Playoff contenders left, what does each need to make the field?

The College Football Playoff committee's top four teams all play this weekend. Teams ranked No. 5 through No 7 do not. The committee will announce its final rankings on Sunday. Clemson's loss made the ACC title game irrelevant. LSU's and Texas A&M's losses made SEC Championship Game irrelevant outside of seeding. Michigan's game with Purdue in the Big Ten Championship is irrelevant as well.

No. 3 TCU plays No. 10 Kansas State in the Big 12 championship game. The Wildcats beat TCU 28-10 in October, but they lost to them 38-28 in November.

If TCU loses, the conversation gets a little complicated. If USC wins, TCU would need the committee to put it in ahead of Ohio State. The good news for TCU is that Kansas State made it to the top 10. If Alabama loses and TCU also loses it's not certain the team would be in the field.

There are six teams left in the College Football Playoff race. USC is the only one from the Pac-12 that is still in contention. The Trojans need to beat Utah to be included in it.

Michigan's dominant win over Ohio State keeps it above the Buckeyes. Michigan's wins over Penn State and Ohio will keep it ahead of Alabama. If Michigan loses to Purdue, it won't be crowned conference champions.

LSU's loss to A&M eliminates any hope LSU had of crashing the field. Georgia's wins over Tennessee and Oregon are two of the best wins any team has. The Bulldogs are 17.5-point favorites to the Tigers.

Georgia, Michigan and USC are the current contenders for the College Football Playoff.
