Latest College Football Rankings Set the Stage for Playoffs

The next rendition of the College Football Playoff Rankings is here, and the stage is set for the Top-4 to control their own destiny. Georgia, Alabama, Oregon and Ohio State remain in poll position, but the Ducks and Buckeyes have tough tests ahead. Georgia and Alabama are on a collision course for the SEC title game, which could create an opportunity for undefeated Cincinnati to jump a two-loss Alabama. Overall, the Top-7 remain the same as last week. Here’s where they stand.

The Sportsletter’s Playoff Prediction

With only two undefeated teams and a lengthy list of 9-1 teams, The Sportsletter team sees a path for Cincinnati and either Michigan or Michigan State to jump into the playoff. Alabama (9-1) could become a two-loss team if they fall to Georgia in the SEC finale. Ohio State finishes out the regular season with No. 7 Michigan State and on the road at the Big House against No. 6 Michigan.
