2014 College Football Playoff and bowl projections: Oklahoma gaining ground

1

Only one minor shuffle this week: Oklahoma ahead of Alabama. That's based on the SEC West looking tougher and tougher, while OU only has one especially challenging road game left: following a bye, this Saturday at TCU. Since we still have no idea how much the Playoff committee will actually value strength of schedule, we have to assume a team's chances of going undefeated remain by far the biggest factor. (This shuffle is especially minor because there's no difference between the Nos. 2 and 3 seeds. The No. 1 seed gets to go to the Playoff bowl that's closer to its campus, and everything else locks into place without regard for geography.)
