Can the Big 12 get two teams into the 2026 College Football Playoff, or will a three-loss SEC team take an at-large spot? Utah leads the conference race, but BYU, Arizona and Texas Tech face games that could reshape the bracket. Hosted by PFN's Cam Mellor and Max Chadwick, this conference-by-conference playoff projection examines Ohio State's quarterback uncertainty, Indiana's favorable schedule, UCLA's unbeaten start and Northwestern's surprising rise.
