re: College Football Playoff Rankings : #1 UGA, #2 Bama, #3 Oregon, #4 Ohio State, #5 Cincy

A lot of games this week that will directly or indirectly affect team's chances to make the playoff at the end.

Michigan State @ Ohio State - loser is basically done.

Oregon @ Utah - Oregon is basically done with a loss.

SMU @ Cincy - Cincy is done with a loss despite beating ND head to head.

Arkansas @ Bama - A Bama loss and Bama would be left needing some real help to get in even with a big upset over Georgia. Would a 2 loss SEC champ Bama get the nod over a 1 loss ND?

Iowa State @ Oklahoma - Oklahoma is done with a loss and possibly would hurt Oklahoma State's chances.

Oklahoma State @ Texas Tech - Oklahoma State is done with a loss and might keep Oklahoma from catching an undefeated Cincy with a loss even if they run the table these last few games.

Baylor @ Kansas State - A Baylor loss here would hurt Oklahoma State some if they beat Oklahoma as they would get a rematch with an Oklahoma that will be lower ranked than Baylor would have been in the Big 12 game.
