College football bowl projections: Three new CFP teams enter, three fall out
The College Football Playoff picture was jumbled after Week 4. Our postseason bowl projections try to make sense of it all.
With one month remaining in a wildly unpredictable college football season, teams expected to secure spots in the College Football Playoff (CFP) have faltered while new contenders have emerged. As the postseason picture shifts entering October, three teams have secured new places in the projected playoff field, while three others have fallen out.
Oregon has returned to the playoff field after defeating Southern California in a strong performance, despite quarterback Dante Moore's injury. Meanwhile, Florida shifted from being an underdog to a key player in the SEC race following a commanding victory against Mississippi. Utah also joined the projected playoff field with an impressive start to the season.
Conversely, teams that saw their chances slip away include Penn State, who allowed a 17-point deficit at home against Wisconsin and eventually lost; Ole Miss, whose defeat provided a glimpse into their defensive struggles; and Louisville, who suffered a home loss to Wake Forest following a win over SMU.
