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

Week 7’s college football chaos reshuffled the playoff picture dramatically, with five of the AP Top 7 teams suffering losses in a single weekend. The SEC suffered a historic blow as Georgia, Texas, and Alabama all fell on the same day for the first time in three decades, while Notre Dame’s undefeated streak ended in a controversial loss to BYU.

Ohio State’s 19–15 victory over Indiana secured the Buckeyes’ Big Ten title, though quarterback Julian Sayin’s season-ending arm injury complicates their championship hopes. Meanwhile, Miami’s 43–35 double-overtime win over Florida State—highlighted by Bryce Fitzgerald’s game-sealing interception—solidified the Hurricanes’ No.

1 ranking, though questions linger about their defense. With Tennessee and Utah replacing Texas and Alabama in the playoff field, the playoff bracket now features three SEC teams inside and four more on the bubble, raising questions about the conference’s grueling nine-game schedule.

Ohio State’s path to the Big Ten title grows more uncertain after Sayin’s injury, leaving UCLA as the only unbeaten team in the division.
