CBS Sports Network panel makes College Football Playoff picks ahead of Week 8

Published:
Aaron Taylor, Randy Cross, Rick Neuheisel and Brian Jones have updated their College Football Playoff picks ahead of Week 8, and most importantly, after Tennessee’s upset win over Alabama.
They all had the same 4 teams: Ohio State, Georgia, Tennessee and Michigan, however the order was different.
For example, Taylor pegged the Vols at No. 1, while Jones and Cross each had Georgia at No. 1, and Neuheisel listed the Buckeyes in the top spot.
Taylor pointed out on “Inside College Football” that Tennessee is the only team this season to already beat 4 top-25 teams, “they deserve that No. 1 spot.”
The 2 most important games remaining for all 4 teams come in November, as Tennessee travels to Georgia on Nov. 5, and Michigan will play at Ohio State on Nov. 26. Those results will go a long way in determining the actual final 4 for the Playoff.
