Still in contention:
Alabama Crimson Tide
Trending: EVEN
No team has ever finished 15-0. Alabama, through eight games, appears on
track, sharing a level of play with a select few in college football history
. The Tide have trailed for just three plays all season. QB extraordinaire
Tua Tagovailoa still has not taken a fourth-quarter snap this season.
Clemson Tigers
Trending: UP
So much for the struggles with NC State. QB Trevor Lawrence deftly picked
apart the Wolfpack, which tried too often to send blitzers at the true
freshman. Among playoff contenders, the Tigers now face the easiest road to
a spot in the semifinals, starting with a trip to Florida State this week.
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
Trending: EVEN
The Irish were off Saturday and sit in a spot similar to Clemson's: as big
favorites to win every game left. Could Notre Dame still slip into the final
four with a loss in its last five games? It might not be a good idea to
find out.
Georgia Bulldogs
Trending: DOWN
Off a loss to LSU, uneasiness surrounds the Bulldogs, as Florida awaits in
Jacksonville ahead of a trip to Kentucky. Talk has focused on the
quarterbacks --- whether freshman Justin Fields deserves a shot to use his
arm -- but what of that defense, first gouged by Mizzou for four rushing
touchdowns, then by LSU for three scores and 275 yards on the ground?
Michigan Wolverines
Trending: UP
That's seven straight wins to enter a bye before Penn State. The Wolverines
mastered the formula for late-season Big Ten success on Saturday at Michigan
State, rushing for 144 yards on 37 designed runs inside tackles as they
held the Spartans to 15 yards on the ground.
Oklahoma Sooners
Trending: UP
Kyler Murray and the one-loss Sooners steered back on track with a rout of
TCU, posting 536 yards as the quarterback threw four touchdowns to keep pace
with the numbers of 2017 Heisman winner Baker Mayfield. The defense, under
new direction, held the Horned Frogs to three points after a rough four-
minute stretch in the second quarter.
Ohio State Buckeyes
Trending: DOWN
Sure, the Buckeyes probably still control their fate as a potential one-loss
Big Ten champion. But when do the mounting losses by TCU and Penn State's
sloppy play impact Ohio State? More pressing, OSU has allowed 35 plays of 25
or more yards in eight games. Dwayne Haskins, despite 73 pass attempts,
completed just four balls thrown 15 yards or more downfield.
LSU Tigers
Trending: UP
They're a top-four team because of that smothering D, which forced four
Mississippi State turnovers on Saturday -- as many as the Bulldogs had
committed all season. All four were interceptions of Nick Fitzgerald, who
enjoyed no success on downfield throws. Up next, that defense takes aim at
Tagovailoa in the most appealing matchup anywhere this season.
Florida Gators
Trending: UP
Another idle Week 8 contender, the Gators, with five straight wins, can take
a giant step toward the SEC East crown with a win over Georgia this week.
Florida, without another league road game, ought to feel great about LSU's
performance in the two weeks since the Tigers lost in Gainesville.
Iowa Hawkeyes
Trending: UP
Other than a Week 4 loss to Wisconsin, these Hawkeyes look a lot like the
2015 group that stayed perfect until December. Headed to Penn State after
holding Maryland to 115 yards, Iowa remains a serious long shot to make the
CFP but poses likely the greatest threat to spoil the Big Ten's shot at a
bid in Indianapolis.
West Virginia Mountaineers
Trending: DOWN
After the four-turnover showing in a Week 6 win over Kansas, something didn'
t feel right about WVU as an unbeaten playoff front-runner. Well, Iowa State
made that clear. The Mountaineers stay afloat because opportunities remain
to beat Texas and Oklahoma.
Texas Longhorns
Trending: UP
As the dominoes fell nationally, the Longhorns advanced a notch or two by
sitting out. How does the committee this week treat Texas, with its loss to
Maryland, now floundering, and tight wins over Tulsa, K-State and Baylor?
The Big 12 front-runner is concerned only with an arduous road over the next
four weeks and the ailing shoulder of QB Sam Ehlinger.
Washington State Cougars
Trending: UP
Wow, what a Saturday, and congrats to the Cougars, the only Pac-12 team left
with a shot at the CFP. But the league is likely going to be shut out of
the semifinals again. Even if Wazzu runs the table, it figures to pay a high
price for the September scheduling of Wyoming, San Jose State and Eastern
Washington.
Kentucky Wildcats
Trending: EVEN
Style points matter little for an SEC title contender. That's a good thing
because the Wildcats won ugly on Saturday, 14-7 at home over Vanderbilt. And
yes, Kentucky remains in the mix, with a trip to Missouri before a Nov. 3
visit from Georgia that will likely settle the East division if both teams
win this week.
Texas A&M Aggies
Trending: EVEN
What if the Aggies win out, LSU beats Alabama, then A&M beats the Tigers and
finds a way into the SEC title game, in which they beat a one-loss Georgia
or Florida? Even that might not earn a spot. But it could, which is reason
enough to keep the Aggies alive with their losses to the two best teams
nationally. | v**********o

PAC和ACC各只剩一个独苗，其它都已经彻底没戏
BIG10和BIG12各有3个队还有希望
SEC宇宙联盟有6个队还没出局
外加一个圣母
其它小联盟的全胜队也没机会了
