Six Southeastern Conference teams would join the College Football Playoff bracket with Texas as the top seed, according to the AP Top 25 poll released on Sunday. Texas, Georgia, Notre Dame and Indiana would be the highest-ranked teams. Miami, Ohio State, LSU and Mississippi would host the first-round games. The top four ranked conference champions from the Power Five and one from the Group of Six are guaranteed spots in the CFP.
The remaining seven positions will be filled by the next best-ranked teams. Notre Dame could secure an at-large spot if they rank within the top 12 teams in the CFP's final ranking. The SEC had six teams in the top 10 of the AP poll, matching their record from the previous year. The revamped playoff bracket would begin with six teams from the SEC, including Texas A&M and Mississippi.
The other teams outside the bracket are Southern California, Texas Tech and Penn State. The first three rounds of the playoff would take place from December 18-19, January 1-15 and January 25, with the championship game at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
