The College Football Playoff selection committee will need to stay up late Saturday night.
The last game to kick off on championship Saturday is the Mountain West title game between No. 22 Boise State and Fresno State.
The Broncos (10-2) are 22nd in the latest playoff rankings, the only team outside the Big Five conferences, putting them in position to earn a guaranteed bid to the New Year’s Day bowls associated with the playoff.
The selection committee must pick the best champion from the so-called Group of Five conferences, which also includes the American Athletic Conference, Conference USA, Sun Belt and Mid-American Conference.
If Fresno State (6-6) pulls the upset, the committee is going to have to find another team.
