Who will make the CFP? College Football 26 simulations give insight

The race for the College Football Playoff is about to start, but who are the teams that could really make the 12-team field?

The expanded playoff means more teams have the chance to win a national championship, and while there are some teams expected to make the field, last season showed Cinderella squads have the chance to shock the country and qualify for a spot.

It’s no different heading into the upcoming season with perennial national championship contenders, but it’s unknown whether they’ll actually make it, or some dark horse team will emerge like Indiana and Arizona State last season. Luckily, EA Sports College Football 26 out to give a preview of what could happen.
