As the calendar for the college football world turned to November last week, the teams still in the conversation for a spot in the College Football Playoff watched as we had our first rankings to show where the teams stand in the eyes of the “completely objective” committee tasked with picking the best SEC…I mean Power Five teams to make the field.
Of course, like in previous seasons, the first rankings show that there is still plenty of football left to play as the LSU Tigers said goodbye to their spot at No. 3 after getting demolished at home – possibly paving the way for the undefeated team that was behind them to move up and create a cluster of one loss teams fighting for the fourth spot.
