ESPN experts update projections for College Football Playoff following Week 6
ESPN’s panel of college football experts is updating its College Football Playoff picks after every week’s slate of games.
Following all of the games in Week 6, there is heavy consensus for the top 3 teams in the country. In ESPN’s latest CFP picks, a trio of teams — Alabama, Georgia and Ohio State — appeared on every one of the 14 ballots.
The fourth and final Playoff spot remains a bit muddled. Clemson was the next favorite team with Dabo Swinney’s squad appearing on 11 of the 14 ballots. Michigan, USC and Oregon each appeared on 1 ballot each.
Here’s the full breakdown of the 14 ballots:
One B1G East matchup in Week 7 could have an impact on those projections. Coming off a bye, Penn State will head to the Big House to face Michigan in a battle of undefeated teams.
Already a top-10 team, the Nittany Lions could make a serious case to be on the fringe of the Playoff field with a road win over the Wolverines. On the other hand, a win for Michigan would cement Jim Harbaugh’s squad as a serious contender for the Playoff.
