Bleacher Report columns after week 8 of college football

By Dr. Ed Feng Leave a Comment

Screen Shot 2015-10-30 at 11.01.49 AMI posted two articles on Bleacher Report this week.

Predicted committee rankings

It started early Sunday morning when they posted by projected rankings for the college football playoff committee. (It’s fun but a little insane to work on these articles on 11pm Saturday night after watching a day of games.)

Utah took a huge fall after losing to USC 42-24. I’ve had Utah overrated all season, and their current rank of 14th in my projected rankings is much more appropriate than top 5.

I also wrote about Clemson and Ole Miss. To read the article, click here.

Playoff probabilities

On Tuesday, my playoff odds appeared on Bleacher Report. You can see some of the results in the visual.

Week 8 results brought some big changes, as Clemson and Ohio State replaced Baylor at the top of this list. To read the article, click here.
