2024 College Football Playoff Shakeup: Which Surprising Teams Could Crash the 12-Team Field?

2024 College Football Playoff Shakeup: Which Surprising Teams Could Crash the 12-Team Field?
CFP projection

1. Ohio State (8-1)

  • Current committee rank: No. 2
  • TRACR: 36.3 (No. 1)
  • Playoff Potential: 99.8 (No. 1) 

Ohio State’s ranking here reflects my belief that they’ll win a Big Ten Championship rematch with Oregon, which beat them by a point in Eugene a few weeks ago. That game is a tossup, though, so don’t read too much into which Big Ten team slots at No. 1 in the College Football Playoff rankings and who lands between No. 5 and 7 with a home game in the first round.

Why the belief in Ohio State? Mainly because after I wrote about the Buckeyes’ short-yardage running woes, they bullied Penn State’s defensive line to close out a key win. The Buckeyes’ 36.3 TRACR rating is the best in the sport, and I think Opta computers are right.
