There is only one safe prediction as we hit the home stretch toward the bigger, bolder and allegedly better College Football Playoff. The latest committee rankings will not hold all the way through Championship Saturday into Selection Sunday.

There are too many ranked vs. ranked matchups between now and then certain to render meaningless the committee’s work to date. Besides, the four-team field was set only twice in 10 years with two weeks left in the regular season. Even in 2020 and 2022, the final order would change in that final window.

When in doubt, bet on chaos.
