We have three weeks left in the college football regular season before conference championship games begin. We are officially winding down in the first year of the 12-team playoffs.
Below are my thoughts on the second playoff rankings that came out on Wednesday.
Top 4 Teams
These teams earn first-round byes.
1. Oregon
2. Texas
3. BYU
4. Miami
Weider’s Notes
- The Big Ten Championship winner between Ohio State and Oregon will most likely determine the top spot.
- The SEC is a jumbled mess. For now, Texas earns the top spot in the SEC. However, there are many top games left to decide who will win the league.
- BYU is the favorite to win the Big 12, but Colorado is fast-charging and playing well.
- Miami lost to Georgia Tech, but if they win out and win the ACC, they will make it as a top-four seed.
Seeds 8 and 9
Winner of #8 vs. #9 plays #1 (Oregon)
8. Tennessee
9. Notre Dame
- This game would be amazing. Notre Dame at Tennessee. Rocky Top playing. Wow, I would love to see this game.
- Tennessee plays Georgia this week, so they might lose and tumble down the rankings.

Seeds 5 and 12
Winner of #5 vs. #12 plays #4 (Miami)
5. Ohio State
12. Boise State
- Ohio State is No. 2 in the rankings, but the second-ranked Big Ten team. As a result, they fall to the fifth seed.
- Boise State looks like the favorite to get the Group of 5 spot.
BIG IF TRUE 🚨🚨

Seeds 6 and 11
Winner of #6 vs. #11 plays #3 (BYU)
6. Penn State
11. Ole Miss
- This is another amazing game. Bring Ole Miss up and play in State College, Penn. The atmosphere would be crazy. Maybe Penn State could get another whiteout game. Just a thought.
- Both teams should win out and have a good chance of making the playoff.

Seeds 7 and 10
Winner of #7 vs. #10 plays #2 (Texas)
7. Indiana
10. Alabama
- Indiana hosting Alabama for a playoff game would bring crazy energy and excitement.
- Both teams look like decent shots to make the playoff.
