mjp28 Posted November 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 CBSSPORTS - Get used to it: Alabama, Clemson, Notre Dame, Michigan. Perhaps the most interesting thing about the Power Rankings going forward is there is a good chance it might not change much at the top. None of the top four play each other the remainder of the regular season. While that's not a rarity, it does suggest a lack of movement -- and a possible bracket set in early November for the College Football Playoff. Just look at what we saw this past weekend. Alabama made the season's biggest statement in skunking LSU. Good Lord, Clemson has averaged 60 points the last four games. Notre Dame passed what should be its biggest test the rest of the way at Northwestern. Michigan looks like the Big Ten's best team. More than that, it looks better than Ohio State.<----- the game in Columbus decides that! BUCKS still should win but a better game than we all thought weeks ago. But things always change, don't they? Georgia holds the key to two SEC teams getting in (by beating Alabama in a rematch from January that is now assured). The Big 12 and Pac-12 are on the outside looking in for now. Onward, upward and downward in this week's Power Rankings … Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjp28 Posted November 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 NCAA.COM - College Football Playoff rankings predictions: Week 11 Top 25 Alabama (9-0): After winning 29-0 at LSU, the Tide are an easy pick for No. 1 Clemson (9-0): The Tigers looked impressive again in scoring 77 against Louisville Notre Dame (9-0): As long as the Irish stay unbeaten, style points won't matter Michigan (8-1): The Wolverines' defense continues to push people around Georgia (8-1): The Bulldogs have clinched a meeting against Alabama in the SEC Championship Game Oklahoma (8-1): The Sooners escaped Lubbock with a high-scoring win that keeps their CFP hopes alive Washington State (8-1): The Cougars are the Pac-12's only Playoff hope, though the close win against Cal doesn't inspire much confidence West Virginia (7-1): The Mountaineers got the 2-point conversion to stun Texas and remain in the hunt Ohio State (8-1): A close win against Nebraska isn't the proof the Buckeyes need to make that they're going to be OK LSU (7-2): It was always going to be a huge mountain to climb to beat Alabama. But Tigers can make a New Year's Six game UCF (8-0): Even if UCF keeps winning, there might be a ceiling for how high the committee will rank it Kentucky (7-2): A 10-2 season is still on the table Mississippi State (6-3): The Bulldogs' defense now has to slow down Alabama Syracuse (7-2): Like Kentucky, the Orange are a surprising team thinking about 10 wins Florida (6-3): The ugly loss to Missouri might have cost Florida its chances of making a New Year's Six game North Carolina State (6-2): NC State stopped the slid at two games and now has a manageable schedule Boston College (7-2): The Eagles can cause chaos if they shock Clemson this week Iowa State (5-3): Resurgent Baylor could play spoiler Texas (6-3): The Longhorns are 1-2 since upsetting rival Oklahoma Penn State (6-3): Penn State is struggling, but with so many other ranked teams losing, the Nittany Lions won't fall too far Utah (6-3): The loss to the Sun Devils means Arizona State controls its destiny in the Pac-12 South Fresno State (8-1): Fresno State is ready to pounce as a New Year's Six game contender should UCF stumble Washington (7-3): After Oregon State, the Huskies get a huge Apple Cup against possibly top-10 Washington State Michigan State (6-3): The Spartans can end Ohio State's CFP dreams with a win this week Utah State (8-1): The Aggies are much higher in the AP and Coaches Polls. Will the CFP rankings show more respect this week? MORE: College Football Playoff rankings release schedule College Football Playoff rankings predictions: Semifinals This is how we think the CFP semifinals will look at the end of the season. No. 1 Alabama vs. No. 4 Michigan No. 2 Clemson vs. No. 3 Notre Dame This will be a popular semifinals look, as these four should take the top four spots in the new Top 25 on Tuesday. However, it seems unlikely we'll have the same four the rest of the way, right? Chances are, there will be an upset (or two) that will make things...confusing. If Georgia beats Alabama in the SEC Championship Game, or if Ohio State wins out (thus beating Michigan), there will be intense debate. There's a chance Oklahoma, West Virginia and even Washington State make a charge, should they keep winning. But one team is doomed to miss the CFP no matter what: UCF. The Knights memorably went undefeated last season and beat Auburn in the Peach Bowl. Though UCF is 8-0, another unbeaten season won't be enough to make the semifinals. Not only did the Knights defense look lost for most of the 52-40 win against Temple last week, but they won't have enough good wins or a strong enough schedule to stay in front of surging Power 5 teams. Yet again, UCF will have to settle for playing in a New Year's Six game, if it can continue to remain undefeated. If not, Fresno State and Utah State will gladly take that spot.

mjp28 Posted November 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 NCAA.COM - College Football Playoff rankings predictions: New Year's Six games Here's how we think the CFP and New Year's Six games will look at the end of the season: Peach Bowl: Georgia vs. West Virginia Fiesta Bowl: Kentucky vs. UCF Rose Bowl: Ohio State vs. Washington State Sugar Bowl: LSU vs. Oklahoma Cotton Bowl (Semifinal): Alabama vs. Michigan Orange Bowl (Semifinal): Clemson vs. Notre Dame Even after losing to Georgia, Kentucky should feel optimistic about getting picked should it win out and go 10-2. That could mean an SEC at-large selection gets to meet UCF for the second consecutive year in a New Year's Six game. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ With the early chill in the air here in NE Ohio it's beginning to feel like bowl season!
