LSU seems all but assured of a spot in the playoff if it wins out. Clemson (10-1) is still hanging around at No. 8. Michigan enters rivalry weekend as the most at-risk team. ByPatForde on the good, the bad, and the ugly of the latest CFP rankings
Tennessee is out, blown out, which shrunk the pool of College Football Playoff contenders. The rest of the CFP top five survived and advanced, in largely shaky fashion, but that’s immaterial at this point. We have reached the "Just Win, Baby," portion of the schedule for the four teams that are still undefeated.
LSU seems all but assured of a spot in the playoff if it wins out, beating Texas A&M Saturday and upsetting No. 1 Georgia in the Southeastern Conference championship game. The 9-2 Tigers at No. 5 remained ahead of 10-1 USC . CFP selection committee chairmen Boo Corrigan pointed out that the LSU-USC comparison has been a “dominant conversation” that has been discussed “over and over and over again.
The committee clearly likes what it’s seeing from LSU as the year has gone on. “We're looking for growth during the course of the season, and LSU since that loss to Florida State and the way that they've played and the way they've continued to improve, the win over Alabama, the convincing win over Mississippi are two things that we've really looked at," Corrigan said.
The Tar Heels had a bad loss Saturday but remain solidly in the Top 25 at No. 17. And while Clemson lost one ACC opponent from the rankings , it gained one in the team that beat the Wolfpack . There was some conjecture that South Carolina could vault in with the blowout of Tennessee, but that didn’t happen.
