2024 College Football Playoff Bracket

Big Ten Champion Oregon is the top overall seed while Georgia secures the second seed after a thrilling overtime win against Texas in the SEC Championship Game. 

Meanwhile, Boise State and Arizona State are the other two teams to receive a BYE. Heisman Trophy candidate Ashton Jeanty led the Broncos to the No. 3 seed while Arizona State’s magical run to the Big 12 Championship earned the Sun Devils the No. 4 seed. 

After much discussion following its last-second loss to Clemson in the ACC Championship Game, SMU is into the field as the No. 11 seed and set to face No. 6 Penn State. 

Alabama, who was thought to be in contention for the No. 12 seed to replace SMU, is left out of the field.
