They’re based mostly solely alone opinions and certain will differ from Austin Mock’s a lot smarter, scientifically based mostly projections.

My 5 convention champions — Ohio State (Large Ten), Georgia (SEC), Miami (ACC), Utah (Large 12) and UNLV (G5) — stay the identical as final week. The seeding, nevertheless, is extra fluid, together with Tennessee transferring up two spots to No. 6 after its win at Oklahoma.

What we discovered in regards to the CFP in Week 4: Clemson, Utah emerge whereas USC tumbles
For one factor, it’s the primary time I’ve given all my at-large berths to SEC (4) and Large Ten (three) groups. USC, regardless of the shut loss at Michigan, moved in, and Kansas State, which bought hammered by BYU, fell out. The Trojans’ potential for nonconference wins in opposition to each LSU and Notre Dame offers them an incredible shot to get in even when they miss the Large Ten title sport.
In weeding via the potential resumes of Texas, Tennessee, Alabama and Ole Miss, it’s clear the committee might have its work reduce out for it with the order in the event that they’re throughout 10-2. All might end with a number of High 25 — and maybe even high 10 — wins.
UNLV stays my Group of 5 staff for now, however Boise State will tempt me to flip them if the Broncos deal with Washington State subsequent week.
