Believe it or not, we’re steaming ahead in this whole college football season thing, and the regular season is halfway done already for a lot of teams. There’s still plenty to determine when it comes to conference races and all, but teams like Ohio State have an ultimate goal of reaching the College Football Playoff.
Now that we’ve seen teams for six weeks, we have a much better idea of what the pecking order is. And while the initial College Football Playoff rankings won’t be released until November 1, we can throw darts at pictures of teams ahead of that to give you an idea of what the CFP rankings might have looked like after Week 6 if we got an early peek.
Now, keep in mind that the CFP committee has rotating members and it seems every year, it prioritizes its framework of guidelines differently — aside from every team in the SEC getting the benefit of the doubt.
Regardless, here’s our look at how we believe the College Football Playoff rankings might have played out if they were released after Week 6 as a part of all the fun.
