Bit of a wild weekend. SEC takes a huge step back in the playoff race. 1-8 are all the same, just slid up to account for losses. Indiana did put up a fight there for a little bit, still a good body of work, currently just look slightly better than SMU to me. Arizona St is HOT right now, they keep climbing. Ditto for South Carolina. Ole Miss and Bama take a loss, Clemson looks better than both right now, the playoff race for spot 12 will be incredible. Ole Miss I have consistently had over Bama this year, that stays true here. Tulane is arguably the best GO5 team, but 2 losses holds them back in climbing much higher for me. TAMU and Colorado honestly take inexcusable losses, but real ball knowers know that they were not shocking losses at all. 20-25 once again is just tough to rank, Iowa St is self explanatory, only 2 losses and I think Colorado is better than them. Syracuse a sneaky good team. UNLV 3rd best GO5, Memphis right behind them, defense holds them back from being higher. Army gets smoked, BYU continues the fraud watch with another loss.
