CFP Rankings Analysis: How Long Will the Respect for LSU Last?

Can you feel the excitement? It's the second College Football Playoff rankings of 2018! Oh wait, the top five turned out to be precisely what we thought it would be. As of now, the playoff field consists of Alabama, Clemson, Notre Dame and Michigan in that order.

So no real drama this week, but there was some shuffling lower in the rankings. West Virginia surged to No. 9 after taking down Texas, jumping in front of fellow one-loss team Ohio State. Meanwhile LSU only fell to No. 7 after getting walloped by 'Bama. At two losses, the Tigers still find themselves ahead of one-loss Washington State, WVU and Ohio State.
