As the college football season hits the home stretch, three of the top four teams in the College Football Playoffs appear to be in an excellent position to win their matchups this week and retain their rankings inside the playoff structure.
Alabama, Notre Dame and Michigan appear to have relatively easy games, but Clemson is likely to get a challenge from a strong Boston College team. The second-ranked Tigers must go to Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts for a Saturday night game against the 17th-ranked Eagles.
Clemson is a 19.5-point favorite according to OddsShark, but Boston College has been a competitive team all season and the Eagles should be able to push Dabo Swinney's team quite hard.
