Only four teams can make it to the College Football Playoff, and we take a look at the teams projected to be there if the season ended after Week 2.

Week 2 of the college football season is in the books, and boy was it a fantastic slate of games this past weekend. The biggest schools in the country were tested, as the lineup for Saturday was second to none. Between Auburn playing Clemson, USC taking on Stanford, and Ohio State hosting Oklahoma, the Top-25 was affected in a big way.

With the top 10 teams in the country finished with their games, we take a look at the four teams that we project to be in the College Football Playoff at this point. The playoff is the goal for every college football team, and some already have a leg up on the competition. No. 1 Alabama played Fresno State this weekend, and won easily, but most of the rest of the Top-5 was challenged in a big way.

Last week, we had the College Football Playoff including Alabama, Ohio State, USC, and Oklahoma State, and it changes a bit this week. Every week we are going to see teams rise and fall, which is what makes college football one of the best sports in the country. The tide can change at any moment, and with teams stacking their non-conference schedule, there is sure to be some unexpected losses throughout.

We begin our projections with our No. 4 team, who was the Oklahoma State Cowboys last week. This week, Oklahoma joins the list from the Big 12, after a solid win over Ohio State this past weekend. Here is our current College Football Playoff list after Week 2.
