CFP bracket: How College Football Playoff field would shape up if season ended today
The projected College Football Playoff bracket was shaken up after three top 12 teams lost in Week 10.
The College Football Playoff ranking underwent significant changes after a week, with the outcomes of Week 10 games reshaping the projected 12-team field. Miami's first loss of the season to Notre Dame, in particular, propelled the Fighting Irish into a higher position in the standings. Teams such as Kentucky, BYU, and Miami, which previously held spots in the bracket, experienced the impact of these defeats firsthand.
As of November 10, the CFP has projected the current standings based on the latest results. Georgia, Utah, Alabama, UCLA, Notre Dame, Texas, Miami, Tennessee, Indiana, BYU, Kentucky, and Boise State – representing the Group of Six – would comprise the playoff participants.
The first-round matchups would see Boise State facing Notre Dame, Indiana against Tennessee, BYU taking on Miami, and Kentucky pitted against Texas. In the quarterfinals, the stage would be set for UCLA or the Boise State winner to contest against the Notre Dame or Boise State victor, while Georgia would go head-to-head against the Tennessee or Indiana winner. Utah would challenge Miami or BYU, and Alabama would face Texas or Kentucky for the ultimate championship berth.
