College football SP+ rankings after Week 15: North Carolina enters the top 10

Florida's loss to LSU on Saturday night shook up the national title race a good amount, offering an increase in Playoff odds to both Ohio State and Texas A&M, among others. But it didn't do much to change the top SP+ ratings, where Alabama, Clemson and Ohio State -- only one of whom actually played on Saturday -- remained the top three.

North Carolina predictably jumped into the top 10 following a blowout of Miami, while the Hurricanes, like Wisconsin, fell a good amount. But as we approach Championship Weekend, last week's title-game projections are more or less this week's: Alabama will head to Atlanta as a projected 10-point favorite over the Gators, Ohio State will have about a 17-point advantage over Northwestern, and Clemson, this time with Trevor Lawrence, holds about a 5.5-point advantage in a rematch with Notre Dame.
