Georgia, who the Rebels took down last week in Oxford, would be the "first team out" in the CFP despite being ranked 12th. This is due to the fact that Boise State at No. 13 be the fifth-highest ranked conference champion, if the season ended today.

The four highest-ranked conference champions will earn a first-round bye, meaning that if these rankings were applicable to the actual playoff layout, the Rebels would travel to face No. 4 (sixth-seeded) Penn State in the first round. Using these rankings, Oregon, Texas, BYU and Miami would represent the four highest-ranked conference champions and earn the bye.
