Oregon, Georgia, Miami and BYU lead the way in the first projected College Football Playoff bracket of the 2024 season.

Ohio State is at No. 2 as its only loss came at Oregon in a 32-31 thriller. It's very possible the Ducks and Buckeyes could meet again in the Big Ten championship game, but Indiana will have a say in that. The Hoosiers visit Columbus on Nov. 23 in a game that could serve as a semifinal of sorts for the conference title game.
