Week 3 conference standings and playoff bracket

This website is dedicated to busting up the conferences, and the SEC is the most glaring example of a billion-dollar business conglomerate masquerading as a collegiate athletic conference, but it is amazing to note that eight of the 16 teams projected in a hypothetical playoff after Week 3 are currently in the SEC. You can't front on that, Stoops.

Teams in red have qualified for the 16-team postseason playoff seeded below the standings. Teams in blue have qualified as the worst two teams in Division 1 and must play to see who is sent down to Division 2 for the following season. Teams are ranked in each division using the brilliant Massey comparison rankings.
