Methodology. Preseason-projected field — seeded off Final Projected Rating since no games have been played yet. First-round campus-site games use OLC’s full home-field win-probability model; every later round is played at a neutral site, so those (and every non-CFP bowl game) use OLC’s neutral-site model instead. Nothing here reflects an actual committee selection or announced bracket — this is where the field stands today.
