When November began, Ohio State, Tennessee and Clemson were all unbeaten. Oklahoma State and Wake Forest were in the AP top 10, and Syracuse was 16th. Per SP+, Ohio State had a 65% chance of winning the Big Ten East, and Alabama was at 58% to win the SEC West.
As it always does, November scrambled our expectations. Of the teams that began the month in the AP top 25, only four skated through unbeaten, and those four -- Georgia, Michigan, TCU and USC -- are all on the cusp of CFP bids. UGA and Michigan will likely get in regardless of what happens on championship weekend, but we will pass out two more CFP bids and 10 FBS conference trophies.
