College football bowl projections: More changes to New Year's Six as playoff field holds

There are weekends where you just chill on the couch and nothing of major significance happens. That describes much of Week 11 of the college football season. 

All the teams in the projected playoff field held serve comfortably. Georgia, the closest contender to cracking the stranglehold of Alabama, Clemson, Notre Dame and Michigan, also wasn't threatened in fourth quarter.

Only Oklahoma made things exciting with its narrow defeat of Oklahoma State, but the Sooners still need a lot of help to get in the field and their expected Big 12 title is not longer a sure thing. That caused a swapping of places between Oklahoma and West Virginia among the New Year's Six.

Another adjustment this week was the fall of Kentucky after the Wildcats looked listless in their loss to Tennessee. That opens the door for Florida to jump into a New Year's Six game. The Gators must beat Idaho and Florida State to finish 9-3. That would likely position them ahead of Penn State and possibly Texas.
