The Sun Devils will play BYU in the Big 12 Championship Game on December 6th, and if they win, the College Football Playoff Selection Committee will have a hard time ranking Tulane ahead of them.

In the preseason, the assumption was that the Boise State Broncos would claim the 12-seed as the fifth-ranked conference winner. The lackluster quality of play in the Big 12 has jettisoned Boise State into a top-four seed in the CFP.

Here’s what the CFP bracket would look like if the season ended today.

When applying the college football future odds and using them to create a bracket, the CFP playoff picture looks like the following:

The rankings represent where programs are today, but the NCAAF futures reflect where oddsmakers believe they’ll be come playoff time. According to the bookmakers, Arizona State will win their next two games, earn the Big 12 Championship, and claim the 12 seed in the CFP.

Still, Tulane can change the committee’s minds with two strong wins in a row. Tune in tonight to see if they can accomplish the first of two goals.
