    ATLANTA – Tampa was chosen by the College Football Playoff to replace Dallas as host for the 2029 national title game, sources told Action Network.

Here are my latest College Football Playoff and bowl projections following Saturday's conference championship games. The biggest unknown is whether the committee keeps SMU in the playoff or replaces the Mustangs with Alabama (I think SMU is in and Bama is out).
