College Football Playoff 2024 Projections: Oregon In, Nebraska Out After Week 3

Hello and welcome to my weekly College Football Playoff bracket. I will be updating each week based on new results. They are based solely on my own opinions and will likely differ from Austin Mock’s much smarter, science-based predictions. Also be sure to check out David Ubben’s Bubble Watch.

My Big Ten (Ohio State), SEC (Georgia), and ACC (Miami) champions remain the same, but my Big 12 picks can change from week to week. I have Kansas State up to fourth this week after their impressive win over Arizona on Friday.

I saw what I needed from Oregon in their blowout of rival Oregon State to get the Ducks back in the mix. I have them as the 7th seed and have another Big Ten team, Penn State, moved up to 10th.

Utah gets the final at-large spot, but the Utes need quarterback Cam Rising to get back in shape.

And a big welcome to UNLV, the new Group of 5 representative. The Rebels have won two Power 4 road games, against Houston and Kansas, with a home game against Syracuse coming up. That could be a nice boost if UNLV wins the Mountain West, which is not a sure thing.
