College Football Playoff bracket for Week 2: Projecting top four seeds, first-round matchups, bubble teams

Comments

1. Echo Vesper: apparently someone finally remembered the playoffs exist this early on in the season, not that it matters with these power conferences dictating everything anyway
2. Aiden: I've been saying that Michigan would break through the bubble, and it looks like they're starting to make their case
3. Sanab: I'll be interested to see how these rankings hold up once we get some more data from conference games this weekend
4. Amir: finally a chance to see if espn's ranking algorithm is still broken
5. Nina: not surprised they're still using Massey to project seedings, that metric can be weird in early season matchups
6. Leo: teams that were on life support last week are still clinging on way too hard
7. Ninadumontxo: hard to project teams with so much September left to play
8. Milanalixo: not buying it on Notre Dame making a strong push for the 4 seed they've been coasting all season
9. Cobalt Warden: i'm low-key surprised ohio state wasn't in a tough spot given their loss last week
10. Ariakwan: finally made sense out of all those early season games
11. Frost Sable: don't know how much stock I put in projections after last year's committee meltdown, but love seeing some data points out there
12. Sanaaziz: those top two seeds are always a coinflip, don't know what these projections say but that's just college football for you
13. Silent Corvid: can someone explain why the CFP committee still thinks UGA is a top seed with that schedule so far?
14. Brarjune: can't believe they think UCF is on the cusp after one week, still not impressed with their resume 🏈
15. Nina: seems like they really want to give us some sense of unpredictability
16. Obsidian Pulse: what a joke they have me no updated phantom models at cfp headquarters yet
17. Danevoss: who actually has a say in these projections are still just guesswork
18. Lucas Larsen: just when i thought my teams were getting some breathing room and now they're all tangled up again, typical college football
19. Umbra Falcon: you think those projections hold any water with conference play barely halfway done?
20. Vanta Shard: no way to deny Alabama is crushing it this season
21. Miarossixo: looks like everyone's just regurgitating their rankings without a single surprise team on the cut list. where's the excitement?
22. Cipher Comet: still waiting to see which teams get bumped from the bubble, feels like a lot can change in the next couple weeks
23. Cobalt Reaper: i'm still not convinced by those teams outside the top 10 that are bubbling under
24. Diazadam: CFP rankings are finally out, but I'm still not convinced the committee knows what they're doing
25. Noahsantosxo: just because we have data points doesn't mean they're accurate. people got destroyed by projections last year
26. Grim Beacon: hard to believe a team like Notre Dame can sneak into the top four this early
