With the SEC and Big Ten virtually assured of two of the four Playoff spots and the same thing for defending national champion Clemson, that leaves only one spot up for grabs. Georgia currently sits in the No. 4 spot in the CFP rankings, but still must face No. 1 LSU in the SEC Championship..
Oklahoma surely will jump over Minnesota in the Playoff rankings this week after the previously unbeaten Gophers lost to Iowa this past weekend, and could also move ahead of Penn State if the selection committee deems the Sooners’ comeback win on the road over 13th-ranked Baylor more impressive than the Nittany Lions’ narrow win at home over an unranked but good Indiana team.
