College Football Playoff 2024 projections: Who are the national championship favorites?
Friendly reminders: 1) Most non-CFP bowls do not have to select teams in order of conference standings. 2) Legacy Pac-12 teams will participate in the Pac-12’s bowl lineup this year and in 2025, not the lineups of their current leagues. That means the Alamo Bowl could have two Big 12 teams competing against one another in both years, and that scenario is virtually guaranteed this year.
