Heather Dinich, who covers the College Football Playoff for ESPN, revealed her top four teams via Twitter on Monday following Week 8 of the college football season.
Dinich doesn’t have Clemson (8-0, 6-0 ACC) in her top four. Instead, she has Ohio State, Georgia, Tennessee and Oregon as her top four teams, in that order.
My top four this week: 1. Ohio State 2. Georgia 3. Tennessee 4 … Quack.

Ohio State beat Iowa, 54-10, in Columbus on Saturday, while Georgia had an open date this past weekend. Tennessee took care of business against UT Martin in Knoxville, winning 65-24, and Oregon earned a home victory over previously unbeaten UCLA, 45-30.
Dinich explaned why the Buckeyes currently own the top spot in her rankings:
I have Ohio State No. 1 in spite of crap schedule b/c they are 1 of the most consistently dominant teams, scoring at least 49 points vs. Big Ten competition. Only team in FBS that has scored on 100% of its red zone drives. And CJ Stroud makes NFL throws scouts should drool over.
