Alabama is out at No. 1, with Texas back in the top spot of the latest projected 2024 College Football Playoff bracket after Week 6.

Ohio State fell to Oregon on the road in heart-breaking fashion, by a score of 32-31 on Saturday night. There's plenty that has been unpacked (and will be unpacked) from that game, but the ripple effect of how the result impacts the new 12-team College Football Playoff has certainly been a hot button for discussion. The loss to the Ducks far from knocks out the Buckeyes, and, in fact, all of Ohio State's goals (beating Michigan, winning the Big Ten title and winning a national title) are still in front of them. The margin for error is just a little bit less, and the loss could certainly impact how the team ends up being seeded in the playoff field. Today, Lettermen Row takes a look at how things could play out following Ohio State's loss to Oregon on Saturday, including projecting the full field of 12, as well as how things play out in the first year of the expanded bracket.
