Here's how more chaos could ensue. With two losses in the top 10 and several other losses from ranked teams, Week 10's Power Rankings reflect the chaos of November's first weekend of college football action. Cincinnati held on to the No. With the release of the latest AP college football poll, here's what is up next for each team in the new rankings. With help from the Allstate Playoff Predictor, you can pick a top title contender, play out its season and see what chances it has to make the top four at the end of the year.
Georgia, Alabama and Oregon -- not necessarily in that order -- secure their places in the CFP rankings while Michigan State's upset loss guarantees a top-four spot is up for grabs.
Strength of record is one of the best ways to determine who will make the College Football Playoff field. Find out how it impacts each team in the top With unbeatens Oklahoma and Cincinnati out of the top four, we break down our bowl matchups and whose standing was helped and hurt most by the CFP rankings. Can Georgia get even stronger? We break down key recruits for the top 25 classes. Kenneth Walker III and Henry To'o To'o are only some of the players who have switched teams and made significant contributions this year.
The College Football Playoff selection committee placed three one-loss teams ahead of unbeaten Cincinnati, and it's not the first insult to the Group of 5.
Playoff Predictor says: Too close to call between the Sooners and Buckeyes. By a true razor-thin margin, Ohio State currently leads in strength of record and Oklahoma leads in FPI, but both are virtual ties. If this situation plays out, Playoff Predictor will enter Selection Day thinking the committee could go either way. Which way will our model lean? At the moment without explicitly knowing the committee ranked OU ahead on Tuesday it shades toward Ohio State This will ultimately come down to the way these teams win on Saturday.
HD's prediction: 1. Alabama, 2. Clemson, 3. Notre Dame, 4. The Tide would still be considered and could possibly drop down to the fourth spot, rounding out a top four of 1. Clemson, 2. Notre Dame, 3. Georgia, and 4.
It would be easy to justify, as the Tide have been the committee's No. It would also be easier than trying to decide between Oklahoma and Ohio State -- two candidates with glaring flaws as well as statement wins. The only thing guaranteed about a one-loss Alabama, though, is that it enters a debate with other one-loss contenders.
It would depend in part on how Alabama loses -- close or convincingly. One thing the Tide have going for them is that they have separated themselves not just from the rest of the pack but also within the top four. When asked two weeks ago what's keeping Notre Dame from joining the discussion for the No. What exactly does that mean? Obviously if Sparty wins, TCU could perhaps sneak by the Badgers which makes it obvious on who to cheer for.
Despite Wisconsin being favored, the Frogs have a better chance of passing the Badgers since they are just three spots ahead of them compared to Michigan State who is five slots ahead of them in the BCS. Sugar Bowl Scenario No. Boise State or TCU If somehow, someway the Wolverines do not crack the Top 14, then all of a sudden Kansas State takes their slot. They need a large crowd to sell all of their tickets, and the Sugar Bowl may have more confidence in the Wildcats drawing a crowd then perhaps Boise State.
Barta was asked specifically about the Sooners and how much advanced metrics and relative scoring came into play when evaluating Oklahoma. So that answers your direct question. Across college football and Sooner Nation, reactions to Oklahoma at No. Some saw it as a positive, others felt the Sooners were snubbed.
Oklahoma rest of the season pic. Lincoln Riley is going to send the CFP selection committee a gift basket. OSU will have chance to change narrative during November and committee can hope 1 team loses down the stretch to make decision easier. A one-loss will have a tall mountain to climb. Losses have to matter. With that being said, Oklahoma has plenty of opportunities coming up over the next month to play its way in.
This is just the first ranking and the Sooners have plenty of time to impress the committee with what they do over the final month and change of the season.
