Prime Time Sports Talk college football analyst Patrick Weider introduces his 2024 CFB Playoff Bracketology! Which teams are headed for specific seeds in the 2024-25 playoff bracket? Let’s check out his full analysis.
Top 4 Seeds
These teams earn bye weeks.
1. Ohio State
2. Georgia
3. Miami
4. Utah
Weider’s notes:
- The top four conference winners get a bye for the first week of the playoffs.
- I would be shocked if the Big Ten or the SEC didn’t get the top seed. Those are the best two conferences.
- Ohio State, Georgia, Miami, and Utah seem like the favorites to win the Big Ten, SEC, ACC, and Big 12, respectively.

Seeds 8 and 9
Winner of #8 vs. #9 plays #1 (Ohio State)
8. Tennessee
9. Penn State
Weider’s notes:
- Tennessee looks outstanding through four weeks. They had an impressive road win at Oklahoma on Saturday.
- Penn State is a good program but has not gotten over the hump yet, nor have they won enough big games.

Seeds 5 and 12
Winner of #5 vs. #12 plays #4 (Utah)
5. Texas
12. Boise State
Weider’s notes:
- Texas looks like one of the best teams in college football but plays in the rugged SEC.
- A Group of 5 team will make the 12-team playoff. Some of the programs in the running are UNLV, Boise, Memphis, and SMU.

Seeds 7 and 10
Winner of #7 vs. #10 plays #2 (Georgia)
7. Oregon
10. Notre Dame
Weider’s notes:
- Oregon looks good and will face the Buckeyes in a few weeks, but they should have a good chance to make the playoff win or lose.
- Notre Dame is a wild card of a team. They lost to NIU but still can win out and go 11-1. Then, they have a good chance to make the playoff.

Seeds 6 and 10
Winner of #6 vs. #10 plays #3 (Miami)
6. Alabama
10. Ole Miss
Weider’s notes:
- Alabama, in the first season of the post-Nick Saban era, looks like a good team and should make the playoff. They get a huge test next week against Georgia.
- Ole Miss looks like a talented team this season but has not had a true test yet. They should have a decent chance of making the playoff.
This weekend is the first time that Alabama has been home dogs since 2008.
