Our College Football Playoff bracket and Penn State's outlook ahead of the Ohio State game.
The 12-team College Football Playoff is here — and with it, a new spin on bracketology. The CFP picture will change week by week in the 2024 college football season. And so every Monday, we’ll take a look at the CFP landscape — and where Penn State stands.
Reminder: The 12-team CFP is made up of the five highest-ranked conference champions and seven at-large teams. First-round byes are given to the four highest-ranked champs. The highest-ranked Group of Five champion is guaranteed a spot in the field.Penn State’s win at Wisconsin significantly increased its chances of reaching the CFP, according to ESPN’s projections. The Nittany Lions now have an 84.2% chance to reach the playoff, up from 72.7% last week.
If the Nittany Lions secure the No. 5 seed — like they do in this scenario — they’d play the No. 4 seed, most likely the Big 12 champion, in the Fiesta Bowl.— SMU and Pitt face off in a game with CFP implications. Pitt is undefeated, and SMU is unbeaten in ACC play. Just as we all expected, right? Miami has a cakewalk to the ACC title game while Clemson plays Pitt in a couple weeks. If either Pitt or SMU wants to be a legit contender for the CFP, winning on Saturday is paramount.
