CFP Bubble Watch: Will Ole Miss, Kansas State make the cut?
SHARE

As the college football season kicks off, hope is in the air. It used to be a daunting task for teams to compete for a national championship, especially with the birth of the four-team College Football Playoff. However, the game has changed with the new 12-team Playoff format, giving more teams a shot at glory.

Now, every team that steps onto the field has a chance to chase the dream of becoming a national champion. No longer will deserving teams like Florida State, Texas A&M, UCF, Baylor, and TCU be left out in the cold. The expansion of the Playoff field has leveled the playing field, ensuring that the national champion is decided on the field, not in a boardroom.

With a guaranteed spot for the Group of 5 champions, and the possibility of moving into the top four spots, every game matters. This is where Bubble Watch comes in, a weekly check-in to analyze the teams on the bubble and the ones with a fighting chance to make it to the Playoff.
