Bowl projections: Alabama, Ohio State, Clemson, Washington set for playoff

USA TODAY Sports

The top four of the College Football Playoff committee and the latest USA TODAY Sports bowl projections look exactly the same headed into the final weekend.

Alabama, Ohio State, Clemson and Washington should comprise the field of four teams unless there is an upset Saturday. Should the Tigers or Huskies lose their conference championship games, it could open the door for Penn State or Wisconsin from the Big Ten or Colorado from the Pac-12.

Regardless of the results, the Big Ten is in line to receive four spots in the six major bowls.
