College Football Playoff predictions - Who's most likely to make the playoff field - ESPN

We're still months from the College Football Playoff, but we've already seen some big wins by the favorites to reach the 12-team tournament and some crucial losses by teams in last year's CFP.

How will this season's top games affect the College Football Playoff chase? What are the current odds for the top four? The Allstate Playoff Predictor has the answers. Check back every week as the odds are updated following that week's games.

The teams atop the rankings — the Ohio State Buckeyes, Penn State Nittany Lions, Oregon Ducks and Miami Hurricanes — all won easily Saturday.

Of last year's participants, the Boise State Broncos, Texas Longhorns, Notre Dame Fighting Irish and Clemson Tigers lost in Week 1. The SMU Mustangs, who lost to the Baylor Bears, and Arizona State Sun Devils, who lost to the Mississippi State Bulldogs, join them in Week 2.

The Oklahoma Sooners won Week 2's biggest game. The Sooners' 24-13 win over the Michigan Wolverines will bolster their credentials should Oklahoma successfully navigate its SEC schedule.

Though they still have a huge meeting with Miami next week before conference play, the South Florida Bulls further helped their case to be the Group of 5's CFP representative. They went to Gainesville and pulled off the 18-16 upset of the Florida Gators. It was USF's first road win over a ranked opponent since 2011.
