Five games in Week 10 that will impact the College Football Playoff race

We come now to the portion of our program when we preview the five games that will have the most impact on the College Football Playoff race. In this case, however, the impact is going to be somewhat indirect in a couple of instances.

The Week 10 schedule is light to say things nicely. Four of the top five teams are off and the fifth, Clemson, has what amounts to a tune-up against FCS member Wofford. In fact, over a third of the teams ranked in the Amway Coaches Poll have the first weekend of November scheduled as an open date.
