CFP predictions: Who’s most likely to make the playoff field?

After his team’s shocking 24-21 loss to unranked Georgia Tech in the season opener, Florida State coach Mike Norvell said the Seminoles “can’t let this one game define what the outcome of our season will be.”

FSU can still reach the 12-team College Football Playoff if it wins the ACC — the five highest-ranked conference champions are guaranteed spots in the new format — or it can earn one of the seven at-large bids. The reality, though, is that the Noles’ 0-1 start has already affected postseason predictions.

Florida State isn’t in some of them anymore.

So, who is (besides Georgia and Ohio State)?

Our postseason picks are in, and with a new 12-team format, the door has opened for more contenders — and more debates. According to the Allstate Playoff Predictor, Florida State entered the season with a 36% chance to reach the playoff. That dropped to 13% after the Week 0 loss to Georgia Tech.

How many teams will represent the ACC in the 12-team field now? SEC? Big Ten? Big 12? Who is the best Group of 5 contender?

It depends who you ask …
