Here's a blind resume for all the teams that have 10 or more regular season wins plus all the teams with 9 wins that were in the #cfp Top 25 last week.
Which 10 would YOU put in the playoff?
(This list is ordered by wins but random within a given win bracket.)

PSA for US news consumers: a 90-day tariff de-escalation is not "a landmark trade deal." It's equivalent to a temporary cease fire—it has no long term value unless and until it leads to a more durable resolution. Reporting otherwise is click bait.
