With the college football season right around the corner, the projections are flying in fast and furious. A new rule change means 12 teams will head to the College Football Playoff that will take place in late December and early January. Two teams from the Big 12 were listed in the latest projections from CBS Sports.
Both the Utah Utes and Kansas State Wildcats are heading to the postseason according to the projections. For Kansas State, they get in as the 11th seed. They would face a first-round matchup just before Christmas, on the road at Oregon.
The Utes garner the 3 seed and play in the Fiesta Bowl on New Year’s Eve. They would await the winner of the Kansas State – Oregon matchup.
If Utah did play in the Fiesta Bowl, that game would take place in Glendale, Arizona.

The rest of the projections have the Georgia Bulldogs, Ohio State Buckeyes, and Florida State Seminoles getting the “Bye”. Texas, Alabama, Texas A&M, Penn State, Miami, and Boise State round out the top 12.
In the projections, the Big 12 has two teams, while the SEC leads the way with four teams. The Big Ten settles for three, while the ACC comes away with two. The final team, Boise State, comes from the Mountain West as the guaranteed representative from the Group of Five.
