ESPN reveals updated bowl, College Football Playoff predictions following Week 7

Week 7 games dramatically shook up the latest projections for the postseason College Football Playoff and bowl season. ESPN’s Kyle Bonagura and Mark Schlabach reshuffled their matchups heading into Week 8, which features another large slate of consequential top-25 games.

Alabama’s takedown at the hands of the Tennessee Volunteers has disqualified them from the CFP, for the time being, in the eyes of ESPN’s postseason prognosticators. With the Georgia Bulldogs and Ohio State Buckeyes still undefeated through seven weeks, they sit decidedly atop the CFP for Bonagura and Schlabach.
