Texas joined Oregon, Miami and BYU as teams receiving first-round byes in the second projected College Football Playoff bracket of the 2024 season on Tuesday. The second wave of rankings were released on Tuesday, taking into account some major shifts in resumes after a wild Week 11 slate.
The 2-seed Longhorns take the place of Georgia, which fell all the way from that spot to out of the field after getting crushed 28-10 against projected 11-seed Ole Miss. The Bulldogs now rank No. 12 but would get pushed out of the bracket by Group of Five champion Boise State, which ranks No. 13.
After losing its first game of the season, Miami dropped from the 3-seed to the 4-seed, falling behind BYU. The Hurricanes fell from No. 4 to No. 9 in the CFP Rankings, while BYU jumped from No. 9 to No. 6. Down the board, Ole Miss jumped into the bracket for the first time, while Indiana also moved up from the 9-seed to the 7-seed and No. 5 in the rankings after beating reigning national champion Michigan.
This bracket is a projection heading into Week 12. None of the byes will formally be earned until a team wins a conference championship. Here is a look at how the College Football Playoff bracket looks after the second CFP Rankings release on Tuesday.
CBS Sports will update this story shortly with takeaways from the second projected CFP bracket release on Tuesday.
