The College Football Playoff has a different shade of orange after Week 7.
Moving out of the field in the latest bowl projections is Texas after its loss to Florida. Moving in is SEC counterpart Tennessee following a spirited win by the Volunteers against Alabama.
That, surprisingly, is the only change among the 12 teams selected for the bracket that will determine the national champion despite a slew of upsets during the weekend. Common sense would seem to indicate more adjustments. But with several contenders losing and not a ton of replacement candidates available, there just isn't a lot different to the picture except for the seedings.
The second half of the season is shaping up to have many twists and turns. The losses by SEC contenders increase the likelihood of 9-3 teams being in the mix for at-large spots. Those teams could be competing with one- or two-loss teams from the ACC and Big 12 in what should be a challenging situation for the committee.
That debate is for another day. There's still a long way to go.
