What decides Miami’s path?

Results change conference records and which teams enter a tie. The model applies the ACC tiebreakers in each simulated season, including any required modeled external inputs. A high probability is not a clinching proof.

Understand your team’s path

What do these championship odds measure?

The chance of reaching the conference championship game under the current model. They do not measure winning that game, winning the national championship, or being selected for the College Football Playoff.

What happens if my team wins out?

The win-out estimate locks your team’s remaining conference games as wins. All other outcomes are still simulated. It is a conditional estimate, not a guarantee that those wins will happen or that qualification is certain.

Who should I root for this week?

Open your team’s rooting guide to compare its appearance chance under each possible result. A percentage-point swing compares the two forced outcomes. Swings from different games cannot be added together.

Does 0% mean eliminated, or 100% mean clinched?

No. Rounded simulation estimates are not mathematical proofs. Very rare paths may not appear in a finite sample. Check the conference’s official qualification announcement before treating a berth as clinched or a team as eliminated.

Why can a game involving another team matter?

A result can change the conference record, which teams enter a tie, or an opponent-based tiebreaker. Some rules also consult external ratings. The methodology explains where modeled inputs and uncertain rule interpretations enter the calculation.

Are these live scores or official CFP rankings?

No. Each guide identifies the published snapshot used for its estimates. Results may change before the next refresh. For official committee rankings, visit the College Football Playoff.
