We're halfway through the season, and the CFP picture is blurrier than ever.

College Football Playoff bracket for Week 8: Projecting top four seeds, first-round matchups, bubble teams

The College Football Playoff face a shake-up after a wild Week 7. Five of the top seven teams in the AP Top 25 lost, with three SEC heavyweights - Georgia, Texas and Alabama - suffering defeats for the first time in 30 years. Four teams sit on the bubble: Tennessee, Utah, Ohio State and UCLA. Miami, Ohio State, Georgia and BYU make up the top four seeds for Week 8.

Miami's 43-35 overtime victory over Florida puts them at the top of the rankings, while Ohio State will be without their quarterback Julian Sayin due to an arm injury. Georgia, who lost to Auburn, will face Florida next. BYU, the only unbeaten Big 12 team, will take on UCF in Week 8.
