Every summer since 2007 I have created an intricate set of college football predictions for each upcoming season.  This year is no exception, as I will be using my blog over the next few weeks to publish my 18th annual college football preview guide which will contain 19 entries in all. This column is one of the two new ones I am adding for 2024, as the expanded 12 team playoff calls for its own unique article. I have copied and pasted my entire projected bracket below and then wrote a chronologically arranged project weekly schedule based on this year’s television spots beneath that. Please feel free to comment or debate
