As Stanford continues to climb the rankings everyone is staying focused on the next game but Matt Vassar examines the total college football playoff picture.
Relax. Not Everybody Is Going Undefeated.
I've been noticing an increasing number of comments right here on Rule of Tree expressing worry: what if Stanford wins out, but doesn't reach the CFP because all the other Power Five conferences end up with an undefeated team? And it's not too surprising that this line of thinking is gaining traction; after all, every other Power Five conference still has at least one undefeated team left standing, and two conferences (the Big Ten and the Big 12), even have THREE teams undefeated!
