Bowl Projections 2023-24: Predictions for CFP, New Year's Six After Week 7 AP Poll

The Oklahoma Sooners shook up the race to the College Football Playoff with their win over the Texas Longhorns.

Oklahoma took over Texas' spot atop the Big 12, and in the process, it became the conference's favorite to make the four-team playoff.

The Sooners skyrocketed to No. 5 in the AP Top 25 on Sunday right behind four expected playoff contenders in the Georgia Bulldogs, Michigan Wolverines, Ohio State Buckeyes and Florida State Seminoles.

The playoff contenders beneath Oklahoma in the rankings will sort themselves out in Week 7, as the USC Trojans visit the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Oregon Ducks take on the Washington Huskies.
