Penn State being No. 6 sets the team up to host a playoff game in December in these current projections. Obviously, the top four are subject to change and the top four for the playoffs will be based on the Power Four champions.

With that said, I’m basing my projections off a championship four of Oregon, Georgia, BYU and SMU.

Lets take a look at how the College Football Playoffs could work out …

Here are this week’s bowl projections for Penn State and others.
