Predicting the College Football Playoff Top 10
After another great weekend of College Football, we sit trying to predicted what the College Football Playoff Committee will do. We’ve now seen the movement with the polls but if there is one thing that the committee has proven, it’s that they are independent. They have been looking at the “body of work” and eye test of these teams and carrying less weight on where the teams were ranked in the preseason.The tough part comes when we get to the grouping of Oregon, Arizona State, TCU, Baylor, Ohio State. A case could be made after the wins that Arizona State, TCU, and Ohio State posted this last weekend that all could be moved ahead of Oregon. It would be an accurate reflection of how each week these teams should be re-ranked based on what happens across the board in college football. Based on common opponents, Arizona State has had more impressive wins and dominated Notre Dame but they have a loss, where Florida State doesn’t. The question is, “Is a bad loss to a top team better then a win vs a bad team”, that’s where this committee could make a difference. If we took strength of schedule for 1 loss teams vs Florida State’s schedule, we could move them to 9th! Which is crazy to think about but it’s the truth and right now, they don’t look as good as the teams in that top 8. What appears to matter most in the rankings every week is who you beat, with that, TCU and Arizona State should move ahead of Alabama.
Now, I want to say, in no way do I think that these teams are better then Alabama but for this week they should be ranked higher. If Alabama beats Mississippi State, they will move two the #2 team next week. So for week 12 of the college football season, this is what we think the top 10 should be:
1. Mississippi State
2. Florida State
3. TCU
4. Oregon
5. Arizona State
6. Alabama
7. Ohio State
8. Baylor
9. Auburn
10. Ole Miss
Mississippi State overtakes Florida State in coaches poll

Dak Prescott and the Bulldogs find themselves atop the Coaches Poll
Dak Prescott and the Bulldogs find themselves atop the coaches poll.
Mississippi State is the best college football team in the country.
That’s what the voters of the coaches poll say, anyway. Voters were impressed enough by the Bulldogs’ 38-23 over Auburn on Saturday that they voted them into first place over Florida State, who had a relatively easy time with Syracuse. What’s strange, though, is that Florida State actually received more first-place votes (31-26 than the Bulldogs), and odds are this is due to some voters putting Ole Miss ahead of the Seminoles as well.
It’s hard to blame voters for feeling that way, as Mississippi State now has wins over LSU, Texas A&M and Auburn on its resume, while Ole Miss has beaten Alabama and A&M as well.
Speaking of Texas A&M, the Aggies experience the biggest drop of any team in the coaches poll, falling from No. 14 to No. 21.
Here’s the entire coaches poll. See complete details here.
1. Mississippi State (26 first place votes)
2. Florida State (31)
3. Ole Miss (5)
4. Baylor
5. Notre Dame
6. Michigan State
7. Alabama
8. Auburn
9. Oregon
10. Georgia
11. Oklahoma
12. TCU
13. Ohio State
14. Kansas State
15. Oklahoma State
16. East Carolina
17. Arizona
18. Arizona State
19. Nebraska
20. Stanford
21. Texas A&M
22. Clemson
23. Utah
24. Marshall
25. USC
