As we head into Week 10 of the College Football season, the race for the College Football Playoff is packed. The expanded College Football Playoff field has given everyone a chance to make the field, and this season we've seen a ton of teams linger in the race. While plenty of teams are still in the mix for the Playoff, a few teams have started to separate themselves as arguably the best team in the Country.

If you're still undefeated this late into the season, you're in the perfect position to make the College Football Playoff. As the season comes down the stretch, 3 undefeated teams have already played their hardest games meaning they've likely clinched a College Football Playoff bid.

These 3 teams have all but, clinched a College Football Playoff trip

Beating the LSU Tigers was key for the Texas A&M Aggies as they’re now a College Football Playoff team. The final 4 games come against Missouri without Beau Pribula, South Carolina who has struggled all year, Samford, and a Texas team that’s vulnerable. Even if the Aggies split their final 4 which would be shocking, they’ll have one of the best wins possible after beating Notre Dame.

When the Ohio State Buckeyes started off their National Championship defense with a statement win over Texas you could’ve easily penciled this team into the College Football Playoff. The Buckeyes sit at 7-0 heading into the final stretch and the scary thing is that this team is better than the group we saw win it all last season. This final stretch for the Buckeyes will only have one test which comes against Michigan and even if they somehow lose again they’ll make the Playoff.

The Indiana Hoosiers are already 8-0 and they more likely than not punched their ticket to the College Football Playoff when they beat Oregon on the second weekend in October. The Hoosiers have their resume building wins beating Oregon and Illinois while their win over Iowa continues to trend toward being a great win. The final 4 games come against Maryland who's 1-3 in league play and 3 teams who are winless in Big Ten play in Penn State, Wisconsin, and Purdue. Curt Cignetti's team is never losing to any of their final 4 opponents making them a lock for the College Football Playoff.
