I was confident Notre Dame would beat Clemson and I’m even more confident that Texas will beat TCU. I expect Texas to win by double digits and do us all a favor and effectively remove TCU from the CFP discussion, cause they do not belong there. I can probably name 10 teams off the top of my head that are better than TCU and would beat them on a neutral field.

Utah has lost one of their top DL to a season-ending injury. They were already having a tough time generating a pass rush this season and losing Fillinger isn't great for them.

If Miami loses their last 3 games, it'll be their worst regular season since 1977.

After their second game I looked at their schedule and couldn't see more than 2 possible losses. What a collapse.

I love Texas in that matchup too.

Texas A&M and AU intrigues me. Really excited to see who will win out for last place in the SEC West :D

Both programs are so terrible right now. Personally I prefer A&M to drop another one.

I do love a good ole’ crap fest, I’m still bummed Colorado and Stanford don’t play each other this year. One of my favorite non-duck games of all time is the 2008 Apple Cup between 1-10 Washington State whose only win was a close one against an FCS team, and 0-11 Washington. The turnovers and sloppy play were beyond entertaining, so this Auburn vs A&M game might be worth checking out.

CFP Rankings:

1. Georgia (9-0)
2. Ohio State (9-0)
3. Michigan (9-0)
4. TCU (9-0)
5. Tennessee (8-1)
6. Oregon (8-1)
7. LSU (7-2)
8. USC (8-1)

Tennessee getting a lot more credit for beating #9 Alabama by 3 than Oregon is for beating #12 UCLA by a couple touchdowns.

Keeping things local... There's absolutely no reason for USC to be ranked ahead of UCLA. UCLA's best win is against the team that beat USC (Utah). USC's best win doesn't exist because they haven't beaten anyone notable. Offensive and defensive efficiency metrics both favor UCLA, as well. This is a pretty definitive example of showing that brands matter.

I note that Texas is indeed a TD favorite at home v. TCU. Fwiw, Texas is the highest ranked 3-loss team in the CFP rankings at #18.
