X-Factors for the College Football Playoff
Each of the four participating teams has an indispensable player who will be the 'X-Factor' advancing to the CFP Final.
Alabama X-Factor: QB Jalen Milroe
It took Milroe a few weeks to find his sea legs, but Alabama became a title contender when he did. He threw for 2,718 yards and 23 touchdowns in 12 games. He added another 468 yards and 12 scores on the ground.
Michigan X-Factor: WR Roman Wilson
Wilson gives the Wolverine passing game a vertical threat, scoring 11 touchdowns and catching 41 passes. He has a chance to get healthy as well. If Wilson returns to his early season production, Michigan could advance to the CFP Final.
Texas X-Factor: LB Jaylan Ford
The Longhorns will need an exceptional defensive effort to knock off Washington. That starts with Ford, who led Texas with 10.5 tackles for loss and 91 total tackles.
