Just two teams remain in the 2025-26 College Football Playoff bracket.
No. 1 Indiana continued to roll through the postseason, dominating No. 5 Oregon from start to finish in a 56-22 Peach Bowl rout. The Hoosiers will take on No. 10 Miami in the CFP National Championship after the Hurricanes outlasted No. 6 Ole Miss 31-27 in the Fiesta Bowl.
As we get set for the finale of the college football season, let’s check out the updated CFP bracket and schedule.
College Football Playoff Bracket
The College Football Playoff bracket began with 12 teams: the five-highest-ranked conference champions and the next seven highest-ranked teams. All rankings were determined by the CFP selection committee.
The four highest-ranked teams, regardless of how they finished in their conference, received a bye to the quarterfinals, where they played the winner of one of four first-round matchups. From there, the fixed bracket will proceed as usual to the semifinals and National Championship, where a champion will be crowned.
