With just two more rankings to be released by the College Football Playoff committee, the sport is inching ever closer to finding out who will be playing in some of its biggest bowl games, including the national semifinals.
Before the bowl games are set, there are still some conference championship games that need to play out, which include some teams slated in the Top Four.
Here are my predictions as to who will be playing in the playoff as well as the New Year's Six bowl games.
| Bowl Game | Team | Team |
| Cotton Bowl* | Clemson | Michigan State |
| Orange Bowl* | Alabama | Oklahoma |
| Rose Bowl | Iowa | Stanford |
| Fiesta Bowl | Ohio State | Notre Dame |
| Sugar Bowl | Oklahoma State | Ole Miss |
| Peach Bowl | Florida State | Houston |
Oklahoma has all but clinched its spot in the Top Four, having won the Big 12 after defeating Oklahoma State.
