2024 College Football Playoff, bowl projections after Week 4

There was no shortage of drama and wild finishes in Week 4 of the college football season, from Missouri needing double overtime to fend off Vanderbilt to Michigan's comeback win over USC to Colorado's heart-stopping rally to beat Baylor.

Amid all that, we saw a key road win for Utah at Oklahoma State and decisive wins from Tennessee, Ole Miss, Texas, Ohio State, Miami and Clemson.

How did it all impact our playoff and bowl projections?

In the new, expanded 12-team playoff, the five highest-ranked conference champions will make the field along with the next seven highest-ranked teams.
