Four weeks (not counting a handful of games in Week “0”) are now in the books for the 2021 college football season and we’re starting to see some things emerge. Clemson is clearly not the program it was over the last decade, Oregon has emerged to be a player in the College Football Playoff race, and the Big Ten has a whole host of teams that have jumped up early on to challenge the scarlet and gray King Kong of the league, Ohio State.
We won’t get a look at the first release of the College Football Playoff Rankings until the committee unveils things on November 2, but we like to step out on the proverbial limb to give you our top ten of what things might have looked like if the CFP Rankings were done earlier in the season.
We do just the top ten because that’s the population the four teams more than often come from (excluding 2014 Ohio State of course), and then go from there every week.
Here is what we feel the CFP Rankings would have looked like after Week 4 in college football. Don’t worry, they’ll look a lot different in a couple of weeks we’re sure.
