College Football Playoff bracket prediction: 10 seed changes after SEC’s weekend of cannibalization

Alabama and Ole Miss were knocked to the canvas after road upsets, splintering the SEC’s College Football Playoff picture coming down the stretch. In our latest bracket projection, SMU is the major beneficiary from SEC chaos, along with Tennessee, who entered Week 13 behind the Crimson Tide and Rebels in the selection committee rankings.

That’s going to change Tuesday night if the latest AP Poll is any indication. As it stands entering rivalry week, there are four teams we consider to be playoff locks and four other in the “near-lock” tier. The selection committee will choose the five highest-ranked conference champions and seven at-large selections to make up the first 12-team playoff bracket.

Our projections differ slightly from the sports betting markets ahead of Tuesday night’s fourth College Football Playoff top 25 rankings reveal. Ohio State is the favorite at +270 to win the CFP title at Caesars Sportsbook. Other top contenders include Georgia at +340, Texas at +410 and Oregon +425, according to latest odds at Caesars.
