College Football Playoff Rankings Prediction Top 5 Projection
5. Texas A&M Aggies 7-1
Last Week College Football Playoff Ranking: 5
The Case For This Spot: On the one hand, the win over Florida doesn’t look so great now. On the other, if the Gators beat Alabama for the SEC Championship – and with a whole lot of help – A&M might really have a shot. A&M has accomplished a whole lot more than the No. 4 team …
Up Next: at Tennessee
4. Ohio State Buckeyes 5-0
Last Week College Football Playoff Ranking: 4
The Case For This Spot: There’s really no argument for the Buckeyes to be here outside of the Just Because argument. But the CFP committee already said it liked Ohio State a few weeks ago – just because – and that’s not going to change.
Up Next: Northwestern (Big Ten Championship)
3. Clemson Tigers 9-1
Last Week College Football Playoff Ranking: 3
The Case For This Spot: It’s actually a bit more of an argument than you might think on merit – Miami is the only really strong win, and … come on. It’s a win away from the No. 2 spot.
Up Next: Notre Dame (ACC Championship)

2. Notre Dame Fighting Irish 10-0
Last Week College Football Playoff Ranking: 2
The Case For This Spot: There’s no movement. Alabama cemented its spot that much more at the 1, but it doesn’t matter. Win this week, go to the Rose Bowl. Lose tastefully, (most likely) go to the Sugar and face Alabama.
Up Next: Clemson (ACC Championship)
1. Alabama Crimson Tide 10-0
Last Week College Football Playoff Ranking: 1
The Case For This Spot: Over the last five games since sneaking past Tennessee 48-17, Alabama has outscored its opponents by a combined score of 253 to 36. That’s pretty good.
Up Next: Florida (SEC Championship)
