The 2024 college football season is flying by, and it won't be long before we see the first-ever 12-team College Football Playoff play out. Week 8 saw playoff-worthy matchups and included Tennessee handing Alabama its second loss and Georgia dominating No.

Oregon made quite the statement heading into college football's midseason junction, holding off previously unbeaten Ohio State to move up in this week's national rankings. The victory validates the Ducks as one of the College Football Playoff national championship frontrunners and puts the Buckeyes in the unfamiliar position of needing to play flawlessly over their final six games in hopes of a rematch.

After Week 8 ended, college football analyst Joel Klatt updated his power rankings, and he had Alabama plummeting after the Crimson Tide lost for the second time in three weeks. Almost: Alabama, Texas A&M, Iowa State, BYU.
