The Championship Week slate gives us only nine FBS games, but much remains up in the air as it pertains to the 12-team College Football Playoff. Nine playoff bids are about set, which means three aren't. About nine teams still have hopes of a top-four seed and a first-round bye. Five teams could play their way into the field with a win.
From Friday night's Group of 5 showcase (headlined by Boise State-UNLV) through Saturday night's potential bid-stealing ACC championship game, let's walk through the stakes, storylines and matchups that will define the most consequential Championship Week college football has seen.
