College Football Playoff Bubble Watch after Week 9
The first College Football Playoff rankings are scheduled for Tuesday at 7 p.m. ET on ESPN, with only three undefeated teams remaining entering November. The Week 9 projection gives first-round byes to Miami, Georgia, BYU and Notre Dame, while Ole Miss, Indiana, Ohio State, UCLA, Texas, Kentucky, Utah and Boise State also occupy projected playoff positions.
The committee faces unresolved questions about whether BYU's head-to-head victory over Notre Dame outweighs its bad loss to UCF and whether Ohio State remains a title contender without injured quarterback Julian Sayin. Ole Miss is the SEC's last projected team in, while LSU is first out despite its season-opening win over Clemson because it lacks a statement victory.
Should the CFP committee value BYU's head-to-head win against Notre Dame over the Cougars' bad loss to UCF?
