Here at Buckeyes wire, we’re fond of speculating on things that are hard to figure out. And in the case of the College Football Playoff rankings, those don’t come out until much later in the season to allow some of the dust to settle and cement harden on the season.
For all the missteps, contradictory methods, and thinking that goes into how the CFP committee ranks teams, it at least got holding off on rankings until later in the season right. So, while you may have to wait until November 2 to get your first look at where teams stand officially, we do it unofficially every week leading up to it.
And with so many upsets so young in the season (we’re looking at you Ohio State), there are plenty of changes from when we did this last week. We only look mainly at the top ten based on what we’ve seen so far and reshuffle as we get some new things to look at.
Here’s what we see after peering in our crystal ball with what the College Football Playoff Rankings would have (okay, could have) been after two full weeks of chaos.
