The 2018 college football schedule, featuring 40 bowl games between FBS teams, looks a little different heading into Week 4 after several upsets among top-25 teams, including two in the top 10.
No. 6 Wisconsin and No. 7 Auburn both took big losses at home on Saturday, affecting where they could play at the end of the season — and whether they make the College Football Playoff. This week, we kept Alabama, Georgia, Clemson and Ohio State in the Playoff. There is a heavy SEC influence in the New Year's Day Six, too, with LSU and Mississippi State moving in.
