FBS Conference Championship Paths

Reading a column. Each column is one complete path to that title game; the header shows both teams and their final conference records on that path. Each row below is a remaining game (away @ home): cells filled in a team color are wins by one of that column's two title-game teams; white cells are everyone else's games, and a bold, underlined one means this path needs that result.

Badges. "Via tiebreaker" means the matchup can only happen through a tie that the conference's rules settle in its favor. "Via ranking" means it needs a tie that reaches a ranking, computer-metric or draw step, which can't be known ahead of time.

Default view. Each tab opens on matchups between contenders: teams within one conference loss of the last title-game spot (for the Sun Belt, within one loss of their division leader), ordered by the two teams' current records. Picking a team from the "With" list shows every possible matchup for that team. "All possible matchups" shows everything.

Basis. Results and schedules from a live scores feed, with every conference game confirmed from both teams' schedules and every team's overall record matched to the standings feed; schedules cross-checked against each conference's 2026 Wikipedia season page. Tiebreaker rules from each conference's published procedure. Team colors are standard school colors.
