College Football Playoff 2024: Week 2 predictions

So long, Seminoles. Hello, USC.

Week 1 has already impacted the College Football Playoff race, which is proof the regular season still matters in the new 12-team field.

"I don't coach for the media, I don't coach for headlines," USC coach Lincoln Riley said after his team's 27-20 win over LSU in Las Vegas.

"I'm not the most experienced guy, but I've been through a couple of these," he said, "I have a decent idea of what pretty good looks like, and I know we're making progress."

Enough progress to earn a spot in this week's Bubble Watch, which includes the predicted 12-team bracket, who gets first-round byes, the first four out, the next four in line, and how the Group of 5 conference champions will stack up.
