Some teams just can’t stand success.
Memphis had just been elevated to the Group of Five position in last week’s bowl projections following a win at Florida State. The Tigers dropped right back out this week after a 56-44 loss at Navy.
Boise State is back in the projections as the Group of Five representative and No. 12 seed. The Broncos had an easy time of it this week with FCS Portland State. They still have some tough games left, including home tilts with Washington State and Oregon State and a big conference battle at UNLV on Oct. 25. That could be a preview of the Mountain West Championship Game.
Kansas State rejoined the CFP projections last week as the No. 10 seed, but the Wildcats are also out of the picture for now after losing 38-9 at BYU.
Last week’s No. 11 seed Oklahoma State is out of this week’s projections, but you could hardly call its loss at home to Utah a major upset. The Utes’ win jumped them over Miami for the No. 3 seed in this week’s CFP projections. The Hurricanes continue to roll, posting a 50-15 win at South Florida.
Michigan climbed into the CFP projections this week with a 27-24 win over USC. The Wolverines won on a Kalel Mullings touchdown on fourth-and-2 play with 37 seconds left. Michigan has a favorable schedule with eight home games on it including a visit from Oregon in November. The Wolverines’ first road game will be Oct. 5 at Washington.
Clemson is continuing to run up big numbers since its season-opening loss to Georgia. The Tigers pounded NC State 59-35 on Saturday and moved into the projections as the last at-large team.
