The Las Vegas Review-Journal released its Week 9 College Football Playoff projections Sunday, identifying the four teams most likely to reach the semifinals and a chance to play for the national championship at Allegiant Stadium on Jan. 25.
Georgia tops the list after a blowout road win over Mississippi, with the Review-Journal noting the Bulldogs look like the best team in the country despite remaining games against Missouri and South Carolina.
Utah holds the second spot after surviving a rivalry game against BYU, with the Utes' defense securing four interceptions to remain undefeated and favored to finish the regular season without a loss.
Indiana sits third following a bye week that came at a good time for a team dealing with quarterback health issues, while the Review-Journal projects the Hoosiers as potential Big Ten title game winners over an unbeaten UCLA.
Miami rounds out the top four despite a one-touchdown loss at Notre Dame without its best player, with the Review-Journal giving the Hurricanes the nod over Alabama and Notre Dame based on the context of the defeat.
