After two incredible weeks to open the college football season, Week 3 gave fans a bit of a breather. However, it’s still college football and there’s always going to be plenty of excitement. In exciting finishes, App State took down Troy on a last-second Hail Mary, almost earning the Mountaineers a spot in my top-25. Wake Forest, Florida and Arkansas all narrowly escaped against what we thought were very inferior opponents, dropping each in the rankings.
At the top, each team took care of business, but we do have some movement in the top-five. Right now, national championship odds, courtesy of BetMGM, are: Georgia (plus-175), Alabama (plus-200), Ohio State (plus-300), Clemson (plus-1000), USC (plus-1200), Michigan (plus-2500) , Oklahoma (plus-4000), Penn State (plus-5000) and Tennessee (plus-5000).
Though the first round of College Football Playoff rankings are not released until Nov. 1, I tried to think like a member of the committee and projected what the CFP rankings would look like if it were released today.
