By Scott Roche
Who doesn't love college football? No, seriously. Week after week, there is chaos and every fan is here for it. This past weekend it fit that bill, again.
week and another No. 1 team goes down. Texas, which hosted College GameDay and Georgia in their first-ever SEC matchup, the one-loss Bulldogs went in and came away with a statement 30-15 victory over the Longhorns. A huge win, to say the least for Kirby Smart and his team away from Athens.
Aside from Alabama losing at Tennessee, all of the other teams held court in the rankings, including Notre Dame which beat a Haynes King-less Goeriga Tech team in Atlanta, 31-13. In the ACC, Miami beat Louisville in a high-scoring affair and Clemson thumped Virginia. With that said, here are the latest 12-team College Football Playoff predictions as we enter the final full week of the 2024 season in November.

As if we needed more chaos, one peek at this week's schedule offers an opportunity for, yes, you guessed it, more chaos. It'll start Friday night with Boise State playing at 6-1 UNLV, then on Saturday, Texas heads to Vanderbilt for an SEC game that is not going to be easy. Just ask Virignia Tech and Alabama how hard it is to play in Nashville in 2024.
BYU will get a stern test at Central Florida and Ohio State will look to bounce back from their loss at Oregon at home against Nebraska. Notre Dame has a huge test against Navy and Indiana will host Washington. Top-seeded Oregon hosts Illinois, who knocked off Michigan Saturday, Miami looks to beat in-state rival Florida State while Penn State faces a test on the road at Wisconsin. It could be another wild weekend of chaos in college football.
