Following a Week 13 that saw Georgia’s offense struggle in a win over Texas A&M, the SEC Network’s Paul Finebaum released his new top-six teams as we creep closer to the College Football Playoff.
This weekend, the CFP’s top five teams all took care of business, but No. 6 Oregon’s CFP dreams came to an end with a loss to Arizona State.
1) LSU beat Arkansas by almost 40 points, but the Tigers defense managed to allow 20 to Arkansas, which has the nation’s 106th ranked offense.
2) Ohio State looked good again in a win over top-ten Penn State, but Justin Fields did fumble three times.
3) Clemson took a bye week ahead of its game vs South Carolina next weekend.
4) Georgia, No. 4, looked like, well, Georgia. The defense played great as it usually does, but the offense continued to show its inability to find the end zone yet again. The thing is, we can’t blame offensive coordinator James Coley for this one. Jake Fromm missed two, maybe three touchdown passes vs the Aggies. Coley called a game that should have yielded 30+ points. They just need to execute better.
5) Alabama looked fine in a big win over Western Carolina.
6) Oregon went down to Arizona State 31-28.
Finebaum, who said that he thinks Georgia can still win it all, left the Bulldogs in his top-four and seems pretty high on the Dawgs and their style of play.
Utah found its way into the top-six thanks to the Oregon loss.
Here is his new top-six.
My latest CFP rankings after Week 13:
1. LSU
2. Ohio State
3. Clemson
4. Georgia
5. Alabama
6. UtahAnd what’s yours?
