Two SEC teams in Kirk Herbstreit’s College Football Playoff projection
College GameDay analyst Kirk Herbstreit has updated his College Football Playoff projection after Week 3.
Herbstreit had Ohio State, Oklahoma, LSU and Arizona State in his preseason predictions, and two of those four teams are in his newest top four.

Following Week 3, Herbstreit projects 1. Ohio State, 2. LSU, 3. Ole Miss and 4. Michigan State in his top four. That’s two SEC teams and two Big Ten teams. Wouldn’t that be something?
Again my top 4 will be very FLUID until we know these teams better. 1-Ohio State
2-LSU
3-Ole Miss
4-Michigan State

Herbstreit was high on LSU prior to the start of the season, and the Tigers are proving him right through three weeks. LSU hammered Auburn yesterday on the back of Leonard Fournette’s Heisman-like three-touchdown performance.
Herbstreit and Chris Fowler also called the Alabama-Ole Miss game, and the Rebels make their first appearance in his top four after an impressive win over the Crimson Tide.
LSU faces Ole Miss -those 2 won’t be there.
Barring some crazy Big 10 outcomes one of Ohio State and Michigan State should knock the other off also. Kind of a throw away projection for Herbie.
After this weekend I’m sold on Leonard Fournette being able to win a National Championship. That said, if you can play LSU close, and win the rest of your games, and chaos ensues elsewhere (look at the PAC12 right now, do you see a playoff team there? How about the ACC?) then you could sneak in as a second SEC team.
At least I hope so…
I think he is suggesting that a one loss SEC team will beat out several undefeated teams with weak schedules.
I question whether Ohio State belongs there.
I agree
Also agree.
So do I. It’s crazy how much he’s on Ohio state’s cock. He always ranks teams based on performance week to week. Ohio state did not play like a number 1 team.
He’s from Ohio, and he played for Ohio State, so who cares what he thinks. He will always put them at the top, and they are no where close to being a #1 team. The season will play out, and if they continue to play like they have been, they will not remain undefeated.
Really, LSU beat a now un-ranked MSU & Auburn ? And threw only 17 times in their last game, LOL Let’s see them against Ole Miss & Bama first (since that was the test for the Rebels) !
Bama was the test for Ole Miss last year and look what happened there; but, you have to give credit where credit is due – both LSU and Ole Miss are off to a pretty good start.The LSU vs Ole Miss game will defiantly be the game of the year.
