College Football Playoff: Shake-up in Week 8 New Year’s Six Projections

Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl – NC State Wolfpack vs UCF Knights

Bet you never saw this one coming?

The NC State Wolfpack are looking to shock the college football world this Saturday as the go head-to-head with the Clemson Tigers. The Wolfpack are undefeated and are coming off their biggest win of the season, taking down Boston College 28-23. A win over the Clemson Tigers could be the biggest win in program history. It would be the Wolfpack in the driver’s seat for not only the ACC Championship game but also a place in a New Year’s Six Bowl Game.

The UCF Knights run at another undefeated season almost came to an end on Saturday, as they escaped Memphis with just a one point victory. The Knights take on ECU this weekend before heading into their bye week.

With the end of their schedule loaded with two straight ranked conference games, the Knights need to avoid any more games like the one they just played or any hope at a playoff berth will be gone before it even happened. The Knights are still the kings of the Group of Five Conferences, but they have some worthy adversaries coming for the throne.
