College Football Playoff Predictions- Week 4

This list looks quite a bit different at the top than it did a few weeks ago. A few teams I’d like to highlight:

Ole Miss has looked great with backup QB Trinidad Chambliss. The Rebels have a tough few weeks (LSU, Georgia, Oklahoma) and then a November where they’ll be double digit favorites in every game.

Texas Tech shares a lot of similarities with Ole Miss- both looked great with backup QBs, and both have hard Octobers followed by manageable Novembers. The Red Raiders have enough talent in the trenches to simply bully most of the teams on their schedule.

Indiana shot up my ratings after their win over Illinois. Their early win over Old Dominion also looks quite good now. The Hoosiers have two road trips to Oregon and Penn State that will define their season.

Michigan’s playoff odds looked dead two weeks ago. An impressive win against Nebraska (that was not as close as the score indicated) and Oklahoma’s continued success have both been great for the Wolverines. Their two game stretch against USC and Washington will define the season.

A lot of Group of Five teams are represented here. The race for the G5 playoff spot remains wide open with no team above 20% to make it. The winner of the American will likely make the playoff, but the league race is so wide-open there it’s hard to pick a favorite.
