There are still more than two months until the College Football Playoff selection committee announces its choices for the semifinals, and more than a month until the committee reveals its first set of rankings. But after last week's tension-filled slate of games, it feels like every game from here on out has the opportunity to throw the playoff picture for a loop.
This week's schedule features 10 ranked teams playing on the road, including two against other ranked opponents as part of the many conference games littering the lineup. There are only 59 games set for Thursday through Saturday, the fewest yet in 2015, as 17 schools (including three ranked teams) are off this week.
