Miami and LSU gain momentum in updated college football playoff projections

Following Week 1 results, Miami and LSU are identified as national title contenders in updated College Football Playoff bracket projections. Miami secured a victory against Stanford, while LSU leveraged an opening win to solidify its standing in the SEC. The projection shifts Boise State into the top spot among the Group of Six programs despite an earlier loss. Other top-ranked programs including Georgia, Ohio State, and Notre Dame remain in the playoff field following decisive season-opening performances. The updated bracket places Miami as the No. 1 seed and Georgia as the No. 2 seed heading into the second week of play. These projections will face further adjustments as programs encounter more ranked opponents throughout the remainder of the schedule.
