My Top 4: Not to be confused with Actual Playoff Top 4 Rankings 1. Georgia: They look awesome. It is going to take a complete game to beat them 2. Ohio State Big 10 Champion. Michigan State/OSU/Michigan/Iowa. Ohio State is the only potential playoff candidate from the B10 at this point unless Mich State / Michigan can run the table for the rest of the year to include blowing out OSU. Just winning won’t be enough anymore for anyone but OSU in the B10. 3. Oregon. They don’t really play anyone else who will give them a potential jump in the polls win but they just need to keep on winning. 4. Oklahoma: Easy win against Texas Tech keeps the train moving down the track. Down:

Here is a look at the full set of rankings: 1. Georgia 2. Alabama 3. Michigan State 4. Oregon 5. Ohio State 6. Cincinnati 7. Michigan 8. Oklahoma 9. Wake Forest 10. Notre Dame 11. Oklahoma State 12. Baylor 13. Auburn 14. Texas A&M 15. BYU I don't really care about 16-25 since they won't make the playoffs. I don't think any team outside the Top 10 has a shot at the Playoff. Interesting things: - Cincy at six. The quote from the head of the CFP says it all. "The committee has great respect for Cincinnati," he said. "The win at Notre Dame is really impressive. When you look at their schedule after that, who else did they beat? That was the question." - Cincy isn't out of this just yet. There is still a lot of hard football to be played by the teams above Cincy and every one of those teams could lose. Cincy's cakewalk schedule doesn't have them taking a lot of risk for the rest of the year. - Mich State vs OSU / OSU vs Mich State are still to come and will change how the B10 looks on this. - Texas Longhorns Special Teams Coach Jeff Banks' monkey allegedly attacked and seriously hurt a young Trick-or-Treater last night on Halloween. The monkey's jaws apparently had to be pried off the small child. The dude has a personal attack monkey. I hope he enjoys the lawsuit. And no, I didn't make that up though I wish I did. - I'm kind of surprised that Oklahoma is that far down. - I'm not surprised that Alabama is that high up despite the loss. They don't have room for error as another loss means they are out. Top 25
1. Georgia: It was close for a bit, and then it wasn’t. Baring a historic upset, Georgia’s in the SEC Championship game as the teams they have left aren’t exactly top tier 2. Cincinnati: Three weeks until their showdown with SMU, the only ranked team they will play except ND and with SMU’s loss today they will probably not be ranked by the time they meet. 3. Oklahoma: Easy win against Texas Tech keeps the train moving down the track. 4. Big 10 Champion. Michigan State/OSU/Michigan/Iowa. Michigan had it but couldn’t close it out. Down:

Top 4: 1. Georgia: No game but still managed to win by its top competition looking very vulnerable. 2. Cincinnati: They barely beat Navy but they aren’t going anywhere because the team right behind them struggles just as much. Only beating a 1-7 3. Oklahoma: This is the little engine that barely could. Each week they manage to barely pull out a win. 4. Big 10 Champion. OSU/Michigan/Iowa/Michigan State/Penn State. We’ll go ahead and take Penn State out of this conversation. The Michigan/Sparty loser will join them next week. Down:
News broke on Sunday that Ed Orgeron will not return as the head football coach at LSU next season. Despite winning a National Championship with the Tigers in 2019, don’t expect LSU to give him a celebratory farewell.
According to Brody Miller of The Athletic, a flurry of incidents caused the relationship between Orgeron and LSU to deteriorate, with the most shocking moment coming when the head coach hit on the wife of a University official. Coach O allegedly pulled up next to a woman wearing exercise attire at a gas station and said, “Hey, you look like you work out. We could work out together.” According to Miller, the woman informed Orgeron that she was married and pregnant. But the championship-winning head coach didn’t mind, asking “why does that matter?” The story doesn’t claim Coach O knew who the woman was, but that likely didn’t make the woman or her husband, who turned out to be a high-ranking LSU official feel any better about the unwarranted encounter. “That woman was the wife of a high-ranking LSU official,” Miller writes for The Athletic. “Word of this reached the LSU Board of Supervisors, the collection of prominent Louisiana attorneys and business owners appointed by the governor who make the most important decisions at LSU. And of course, it reached LSU athletic director Scott Woodward.” Orgeron filed for divorce from his wife in April 2020 after 23 years of marriage. Although he may not have been infringing on his personal relationship, Coach O still violated his professional relationship with LSU. Orgeron and LSU are set to part ways following the 2021 college football season. Coach O will receive at least one giant parting gift from the school, a giant buyout. This is just funny to me. What I really love is that he's probably done this stuff his entire time there but once you start being less successful, then it is time for you to go. Top 25

Top 4: 1. Georgia: The offense is cooking; we are about to go through two months of foreplay before we can watch the titans battle it out. And they each get better each week. 2. Cincinnati: They are going to the college football playoff, baring a huge upset. Only SMU is a decent team, they don’t play any more good ones. 3. Oklahoma: I still don’t trust Oklahoma but B12 is running out of options to stop them. If they go undefeated, they are getting in. 4. Big 10 Champion. OSU/Michigan/Iowa/Penn State. 4th Place is going to the B10 as they are too competitive not to have a place. Down:
