There are only three more Saturdays before the College Football Playoff selection committee meets for the first time to reveal its first of six rankings on Nov. 5. This week is about the time when individually, committee members start making their own top-25 lists in preparation for how they might vote in November.
Following Week 7, no team saw its playoff chances increase more than Oregon, which jumped 18% after beating Ohio State, according to the Allstate Playoff Predictor. And no team sank more than Ole Miss, which saw its chances drop by 33% following its loss to LSU.
Are the two-loss Rebels really done before November? Or are they on the bubble? Is LSU in with the win?
This is a snapshot of what the committee might do today -- through seven weeks of data. This is not a ranking. This is what the seeding and bracket would look like based on the committee's projected top 12 for this week -- plus a look at eight more teams that could play their way in, and how the Group of 5 race stacks up.
