Every SEC team is now the proud owner of a loss, Oregon and Penn State stand alone as the only unbeaten Big 10 squads, and yet the Big 12 still only has one top 10 team, and I'll never get over the blatant bias in the polls.
So this is where I get to set the record straight and lay down the law as far as how the landscape will stand at the end of the season. Which teams are legit, contenders, phony, and everything in between is up to me--not that anyone will take my input very seriously.
With Texas' mortality no longer a hypothetical, and Georgia's rise to the top, it's time that we reassess the College Football Playoff this week and pick which teams are destined to compete for the college football corwn, and which teams will enjoy the playoff from the comfort of their living room.
Check out this week's 12-team playoff ranking prediction.
