So far this season indiana, BYU And Army Each started the season 9-0, making the Hoosier Daddies the first team to earn their 10th win this season. Not bad for a program that went 9-27 the last three years.

first time College Football Playoff period, SEC It is a free-for-all game with no single undefeated team. Neither team is at the top of the SEC standings. Tennessee And Texas A&M – We won the conference title in the CFP era. Perennial cellar dweller vanderbilt sad then-No. 1 Alabama After the Crimson Tide upset-No. 2 Georgia. What about Georgia? lost ole miss On Saturday, the Bulldogs suffered their first loss to a team other than Alabama since Nov. 7, 2020.

Georgia Technology Beat the team that started the season 9-0 Miami (Fla.)It’s the second time since the AP poll was created in 1936.

Oregon quarterback Dillon Gabriel He became the FBS’ all-time leader in receiving touchdowns and leads the nation’s No. 1 team. But no one is sure the Ducks will win the national championship in the first year of the 12-team playoff, which means one thing is true: those predictions will change at least one more time.

With that said, let’s move on to my updated CFP predictions:

1. Oregon
Conference: Big Ten
Record: 10-0

2. Texas
Conference: SEC
Record: 8-1

3. BYU
Conference: Big 12
Record: 9-0

4. SMU
Conference: ACC
Record: 8-1

5. Ohio State
Conference: Big Ten
Record: 8-1

6. indiana
Conference: Big Ten
Record: 10-0

7. Tennessee
Conference: SEC
Record: 8-1

8. Penn State
Conference: Big Ten
Record: 8-1

9. Notre-Dame
Conference: Independent
Record: 8-1

10. Alabama
Conference: SEC
Record: 7-2

11. ole miss
Conference: SEC
Record: 8-2

12. Boise State
Conference: Mountain West
Record: 8-1

1.Oregon: Bye (later we would play the winner of the 8th Penn State and 9th Notre Dame match)

2. Texas: Bye (I would later play the winner of the game between #7 Tennessee and #10 Alabama)

3. BYU: Bye (would later play the winner of #6 Indiana vs. #11 Ole Miss)

4.SMU: Bye (would later play the winner of the game between #5 Ohio State and #12 Boise State)

#8 Penn State vs. #9 Notre Dame

This game will feature two of the best rushing offenses and defenses in the sport. Both Penn State coach James Franklin and Notre Dame’s Marcus Freeman have had good seasons the past two years, but the winner here comes closer to a national title than either has ever been as head ball coaches at their respective programs.

#7 Tennessee vs. #10 Alabama

Alabama wants nothing more than to avenge last month’s loss to the Vols. He showed last Saturday that he could go out in a hostile environment and earn a crowd-silencing win against a hated conference foe. If Jalen Milroe who came to defeat LSU The Tide should feel good about his chances when he — with 185 rushing yards, four touchdowns and zero turnovers — shows up to play at Tennessee.

#6 Indiana vs. #11 Ole Miss

Ole Miss beat the toughest team on its schedule. Georgiaand the Hoosiers can do the same in two weeks when they travel to Columbus, Ohio, to play Ohio State. The question of whether he is talented enough to win a national championship for Ole Miss was answered against the Bulldogs. For Indiana, a road win over the consensus No. 2 team in the nation will do the same. In this case, this match could be a first round matchup, but we may see it happen a little further down the line.

5. Ohio State vs. 12. Boise State

Boise State running back with three games left in the season Ashton Jeanty He rushed for 1,734, including 209 in his last outing. He needs 895 more yards to break Barry Sanders’ 36-year-old record. If the Broncos win Mountain West This game against Ohio State in the championship could be the game where he can break the record or at least get close to it.
