Finalist + an Early Decision Application

If I become a finalist for QB, I know for sure that I won’t match to a college because my EFC will probably be more than 0. For people who were finalists but chose not to do the match thing: can I still apply ED to a questbridge college through common app after being notified about QB finalist status? Or do I have to apply RD?

“College Match applicants who do not rank colleges, or who are not selected as Finalists, are free to apply to any colleges for Early or Regular Decision.”
