The College Football Playoff field will be announced Sunday and there are still a handful of teams fighting for a spot.

SportsBetting.ag is assuming these nine teams get in no matter what happens next weekend:

Ohio State

Indiana

Georgia

Oregon

Texas Tech

Texas A&M

Alabama

Ole Miss

Oklahoma

And based on the odds below, Notre Dame, Virginia and North Texas will join them.

Interesting to see that the Texas Longhorns are nowhere to be found.

You can look at a few of the below projections and see that the numbers mostly mirror what the moneylines are for the respective championship game.

For example, North Texas is -135 against Tulane (+115), and the thought is that the Sun Belt winner gets in to the tournament. Interesting note here…both teams lost their coaches and North Texas is the only road favorite of championship week.

Of course, Duke is only a 2.5-point underdog to Virginia in the ACC, but 25/1 to reach the playoff. The thought there is that the CFP committee will rank the Sun Belt champ or James Madison higher than a five-loss Duke squad.

Odds to Qualify for CFP Tournament

Notre Dame -400

Virginia -150

North Texas −150

Tulane +125

James Madison +130

BYU +375

Miami +600

Duke +2500

UNLV +5000

Here are the conference championship moneylines that have CFP implications:

ACC Championship

Duke (+130) vs. Virginia (-150)

Spread: Virginia -3

Big 12 Championship

BYU (+395) vs. Texas Tech (-520)

Spread: TTU -13

Conference USA Championship

Troy (+1070) at James Madison (-2100)

Spread: JMU -22

Sun Belt Championship

North Texas (-135) at Tulane (+115)

Spread: Tulane +2.5

Mountain West Championship

UNLV (+145) at Boise State (-165)

Spread: Boise -3.5
