Projecting the College Football Playoff Rankings: Alabama jumps Ohio State
CBSec
1.
Alabama: A very comfortable win at
Arkansas moves the Crimson Tide up to the top spot.
2.
Ohio State: There is something about
Indiana that brings out the worst in Ohio State. Of course, if the worst in Ohio State is a 21-point win, the rest of college football could be in trouble.
3.
Clemson: The Tigers are pretty much neck-and-neck with Texas A&M. I'm keeping the Tigers here because they beat
Auburn at Auburn.
4. Texas A&M: The Aggies needed overtime but knocked off
Tennessee. That goes with wins over Auburn and Arkansas to give them a pretty good schedule so far.
5.
Michigan: Jim Harbaugh's bunch laid the worst beatdown in FBS-vs.-FBS football in the current century, pasting
Rutgers 78-0.
6. Tennessee: The Vols have played the best schedule and haven't been beaten in regulation yet.
7.
Washington: U-Dub stuck it to
Oregon big time. There is a new beast in the Pac-12.
8.
Louisville: The Cardinals took the week off and watched as their best remaining opponent took it on the chin.
9.
Wisconsin: The Badgers had the week off to prepare for a visit from Ohio State.
10.
Virginia Tech: Justin Fuente's first year is off to a pretty good start. The Hokies lost to Tennessee in Bristol but just pounded
North Carolina in Chapel Hill to announce themselves as the favorite in the ACC Coastal Division.
