Penn State rises to cusp of FWAA Super 16 poll; 2-loss Wisconsin and Auburn control CFP destinies

A little secret of the trade: Know why I wrote about Baylor and West Virginia last week when the FWAA Super 16 poll was released? Because I knew they might not be relevant the next week.

Well, "next week" is here and those two Big 12 reps have both lost. We are clearly looking at a College Football Playoff without a representative from that conference. And they were joined by Nebraska of the Big Ten and Boise State of the Mountain West whose chances weren't great to begin with. All four lost for the first time last weekend.
