College Football 1 College Football Playoff prediction: Georgia rises to the No. 1 seed, two sleepers enter the bracket Georgia went to Tuscaloosa without its top two running backs and still ran all over an Alabama defense that had barely budged all season. That win, paired with a Texas loss, sparked a major shakeup in the latest CFP projection. Two new teams crashed the 12-team field, and the bottom of the bracket features a couple of programs few would’ve pictured there just weeks ago. PROJECTIONS FROM ANDY STAPLES → College Football 2 Hot seat check after Week 6: Pressure mounts on Mike Norvell, Mike Locksley The coaching carousel hasn’t started spinning yet, but sources are expecting a hectic November. Florida State’s collapse at Louisville and Maryland’s 12th straight Power Four loss have the heat rising in Tallahassee and College Park. Pete Nakos has the latest intel on both, plus another ACC coach under pressure and two coaches whose seats just cooled. INTEL FROM PETE NAKOS → College Football 3 Mike Elko just made his biggest mistake as Texas A&M’s head coach Texas A&M’s 27-6 loss at Missouri dropped the Aggies to 3-3 and just 1-3 in the SEC, a far cry from last season’s playoff run. But the result on the field wasn’t the only damage done in Columbia. A frustrated comment postgame risks alienating a fan base that adored him, and possibly some of the people who write the checks.
