With the first College Football Playoff Rankings set to be released on November 1st, CBS Sports’ Jerry Palm came out with his predictions.
1. Alabama: The Crimson Tide ran away from Texas A&M. They still have tough games left at LSU and Auburn.
2. Michigan: The Wolverines’ schedule looks easier every week. They keep piling up the points though.
3. Clemson: The Tigers had a week off to get ready for Florida State.
4. Texas A&M: Alabama handed the Aggies their first loss of the season, but Texas A&M’s CFP hopes aren’t gone yet.
5. Ohio State: The Buckeyes let one get away at Penn State. Like Texas A&M, their playoff hopes aren’t gone yet, and Ohio State has a better chance than A&M does of winning its league.
6. Louisville: Lamar Jackson had another spectacular day in a destruction of NC State.
