College Football Playoff rankings: Boise State moves ahead of BYU and into a first-round bye

Boise State jumped ahead of BYU in the third College Football Playoff rankings of 2024.

The Broncos moved up to No. 12 and the Cougars fell eight spots to No. 14 after losing to Kansas on Saturday night. Since Boise State is in front of BYU, the Broncos are the provisional No. 4 seed in the playoff with two weeks to go in the regular season.

Remember, the top four conference champions receive first-round byes into the playoff while seeds Nos. 5 through 12 play in first-round games. Five conference champions are guaranteed spots into the playoff.
