Week 4 was a telling one around the country. We saw the Texas Longhorns escape with a win over the Tennessee Volunteers on Rocky Top. We saw the Florida Gators make a statement in the Swamp against the Ole Miss Rebels.
We also saw reigning champion Indiana struggle against Northwestern. The Ohio State Jeremiah Smiths Buckeyes dominated Illinois.
Each week, the Playoff picture gets a little clearer. In ESPN analyst Heather Dinich’s latest projections for the 12-team Playoff field, she has a whopping 6 SEC teams in the mix. Florida makes its first appearance after a dominant victory:
- Texas
- Ohio State
- Georgia
- Miami
- Notre Dame
- Alabama
- Indiana
- Florida
- Ole Miss
- LSU
- BYU
- Oregon
Check out Dinich’s full column here for explanations about why each team is ranked where it is and what challenges remain on the horizon.
The Week 5 slate isn’t nearly as loaded as Week 4 was, but there are still some intriguing games, including Alabama at Mississippi State, Ohio State at Iowa and more.
The season isn’t even at the halfway point yet, so there’s plenty of maneuvering to do before the 12-team field is set. We’ll see how next weekend impacts the projected CFP rankings.
