Kirk Herbstreit was on the call for Saturday night’s South Carolina stunner over Tennessee. The Gamecocks put up 63 points on the Vols, all but ending Tennessee’s College Football Playoff hopes.

Elsewhere, none of the top teams looked dominant, with Georgia, Ohio State, Michigan and TCU all scoring slimmer than usual margins of victory.

So, what does the popular ESPN analyst make of things after Week 12? Here are his top 4 teams, along with 2 teams next in line:

Georgia, Ohio State, Michigan and TCU as the top 4 is likely going to reflect what will happen in Tuesday’s updated CFP rankings.

Will LSU move up to No. 5, or will USC leapfrog the 2-loss Tigers? We’ll see what happens moving forward. It’s especially important to be in the No. 5 spot this week with Ohio State and Michigan set to square off on Saturday.
