With just one week left in the college football regular season, the playoff landscape is beginning to take shape following the committee’s ranking announcement on Tuesday.

Ohio State is positioned to host a first-round playoff game, coming in at No. 6, just ahead of Tennessee. On the other hand, Miami has dropped to No. 11 after losing to Syracuse, putting them out of contention for at-large bids.

Committee chairman Warde Manuel seems to have indicated that teams not participating this weekend will not see changes in their rankings. This creates significant anticipation around the ACC championship game, where No. 8 SMU faces Clemson. A loss there could potentially drop SMU behind Alabama for the final at-large playoff spot.

As some teams wait to find out their playoff prospects, coaching changes loom for several programs. North Carolina, West Virginia, Purdue, and Central Florida are among the Power Five schools searching for new head coaches. Who might be the frontrunners for these positions?

This weekend’s slate includes nine conference championship games, featuring exciting matchups in both the Big Ten and SEC. The Big 12 will finalize its playoff representative, and the Mountain West could determine the Group of Five team that will participate. Who will come out on top?

Dan Wolken and Paul Myerberg from YSL News Sports explore these issues and much more in this week’s edition of the College Football Fix.
