Bowl Projections: Intrigue Abounds for Fourth Playoff Spot

Alabama and Penn State took their first loss of the season on Saturday, creating a sizable vacuum in the race for the College Football Playoff. We approach Tuesday night’s rankings show with an assumed top three (LSU, Ohio State and Clemson) but do we have any idea who will be in the driver’s seat for the fourth Playoff spot?

The Crimson Tide and Georgia remain contenders for a second SEC spot, though they face stiff competition against one-loss Power 5 schools Oklahoma, Oregon and Utah. Baylor and Minnesota remain undefeated entering Week 11, though difficult closing schedules could quickly derail their CFP chances by this time next week.
