College football bowl projections get overhaul after upsetting Week 6 reshapes CFP bracket
View Date:2025-01-11 01:12:53
Remember when the predictions for Week 6 of the college football season implied there wasn't going to be much drama due to a bland schedule? We couldn't have been more wrong.
There were four upsets among teams on the top 10, and the impact could be felt from the College Football Playoff down to the rest of the postseason lineup in this week's bowl projections. Leading the winners was idle Texas. The Longhorns are now the top seed following Alabama's stunning loss to Vanderbilt. The Tide remain in the playoff field but now are slated for a first-round game.
Also moving up into one of the top four seeds is Clemson. While Miami wasn't an upset victim thanks to a questionable non-call during its miraculous comeback at California, the Hurricanes fall out of the ACC championship spot in favor of the Tigers. There are two newbies to the field. Boise State earning the nod among the Group of Five champions with UNLV and James Madison both losing. And Notre Dame returns after Tennessee's surprising defeat at Arkansas.

HIGHS AND LOWS:Winners and losers from college football's Week 6
That's the picture entering Week 7. But there's even more change ahead with several key matchups Saturday. The biggest sees Ohio State and Oregon clash for the top position in the Big Ten. In the SEC, Texas could get a test from longtime rival Oklahoma and LSU and Mississippi meet in a matchup that likely knocks one team out of playoff contention. There's also potential danger for projected Big 12 winner Kansas State at Colorado.
So when you check back here next week expect the picture to change again. But isn't that what we love about college football?
Note: Legacy Pac-12 schools in other conferences will fulfill existing Pac-12 bowl agreements through the 2025 season.
