Playing a strong schedule against quality opponents is more important now than ever before, as college football places a heavy premium on who a team has played

The latter half of the projected College Football Playoff bracket experienced a major shakeup after the chaos of Week 13. Three teams featured in the previous bracket cycled out of the field after getting upset to bring in a new round of contenders.

Oregon, Ohio State, Texas and Penn State held onto the top spots in the latest edition of the College Football Playoff rankings, the selection committee announced. Three other schools dropped from the projected list.
