Using PennLive reporter Johnny McGonigal's AP top 25 ballot, here are where the Nittany Lions stand in the CFP picture.
The 12-team College Football Playoff is here — and with it, a new spin on bracketology. The CFP picture will change week by week in the 2024 college football season. And so every Monday, we’ll take a look at the CFP landscape — and where Penn State stands.
As a voter for the Associated Press top 25 poll, I’m going to use my weekly ballot to create a projected 12-team CFP bracket, implementing the CFP committee’s formula. If Penn State beat Missouri in my scenario, James Franklin, Drew Allar and the Nittany Lions would face No. 2 seed Ohio State in the CFP quarterfinals at the Rose Bowl.
Penn State has a 60.5% chance to make the CFP, per ESPN’s projections. That’s up from 58.6% last week and is the seventh-highest percentage in the country.— In a not-so-stunning development, there’s been another shakeup in the Big 12. After Utah’s home loss to Arizona, unbeaten Iowa State is the highest-ranked Big 12 team, both in the AP poll and on my ballot. BYU is right on Iowa State’s heels at No. 17 in the poll, followed by No. 18 Utah and No. 20 Kansas State. The Big 12 is a crapshoot.
