Meet me halfway?
Good. We're here. Welcome to the midpoint of the season, where the best is yet to come. The College Football Playoff selection committee will reveal its first of six weekly rankings Nov. 3, and the final Top 25 will be revealed on ESPN on Dec. 6. There are plenty of crucial games remaining that will shape the committee's thoughts, but this narrows it down to 10 of the most important, listed in chronological order:

LSU at Alabama, Nov. 7
LSU is the only undefeated team remaining in the SEC and has a one-game lead in the conference standings, but ESPN's Football Power Index projects the Tigers to have the toughest remaining schedule, with games at Alabama and Ole Miss. Alabama has looked the part of a playoff contender since its loss to Ole Miss, making this game one that is likely to determine the SEC West division.

CBS Sports Week 8 Odds/Picks
quote:
Tennessee at Alabama (-15.5): Let's get something out of the way before my pick. I love what Alabama is doing right now. Road wins against Georgia and Texas A&M have the Crimson Tide, even with a loss already, looking like one of the strongest teams in the SEC West once again. As long as Derrick Henry is running the ball and that ferocious defense is eating, there is no one in the country I'd take against the Tide ... on a neutral field.
Alabama has not covered a single spread in Bryant-Denny Stadium this season and Joshua Dobbs is coming off a career-best performance with a bye week to prepare for the Tide. Alabama looks great, but trends point to the double-digit road dog, especially when it's Butch Jones' young and feisty bunch looking to build on a big win. Pick: Vols +15.5
