CFP Rankings Prediction
*Rankings predictions are based on all top-ranked teams remaining undefeated this weekend*
1. Ohio State - At the time of the rankings next week, Ohio State will have a road win over a ranked Notre Dame and home win over a top-10 Penn State program. Those two wins alone could vault the Buckeyes into the No. 1 spot.
2. Florida State - For the same purposes that we could see the committee respect the wins of Ohio State, Florida State has wins over a ranked LSU on a neutral site, and a road win over a ranked Duke and then ranked Clemson.
3. Michigan - The Wolverines haven't played a ranked opponent, but they have dominated the opponents in front of them to the tune of 34.8 points per game.
4. Georgia - The defending champs are undefeated, though they have no ranked opponents in the win column this season, they have four ranked opponents left on the schedule this season prior to the final rankings — Ole Miss, Missouri, Tennessee, and SECCG.
- 5. Washington
- 6. Oklahoma
- 7. Texas
- 8. Oregon
- 9. Alabama
- 10. Penn State
- 11. Oregon State
- 12. Ole Miss
