College Football Playoff Rankings Projection following Rivalry Weekend

What will the next top 6 look like?

USA TODAY NETWORK

Top Four Projection:

4. Cincinnati
3. Alabama
2. Michigan
1. Georgia

Michigan is clearly the big winner here while Alabama, despite staying at three, will be the big loser.  Their close loss to a five-loss Auburn team is another big knock in their case for being a worthy two-loss CFP team.  If they beat Georgia they should be in but the Tide certainly hasn’t shown anything the last month to say they’re worthy of being the first CFP team to make the tournament with two losses.
