Predicting what the CFP rankings will look like after eventful Week 11

We are getting close to the finish line. And I say that with great sadness.

Week 11 proved to be another exciting weekend of college football. The top contenders — Georgia, Tennessee, Ohio State, TCU and Michigan — took care of business. The Horned Frogs showed the nation they’re here to stay by going into Austin and beating Texas 17-10.

With a win over Arkansas, the LSU Tigers clinched their spot in the SEC championship, where they will meet Georgia on Dec. 3. Meanwhile, Alabama’s conference and national title hopes may be done but the Tide rebounded with a big win at Ole Miss.

The biggest news of the day, though, came when Washington took down Oregon in a thrilling game, killing the Ducks’ playoff dreams. The Huskies improve to 8-2 on the year.
