The Eliminator: Who is already out of the playoff race?

You thought you could live without it. But as the opening weeks of this season passed and losses mounted for contenders and pretenders, admit it, the question crept into your mind.

The Eliminator returns to provide the answers you need to know. One month in, 84 of the 130 FBS teams are out -- as in chewed up and spit out by the Eliminator. Forty-six remain in play for the Dec. 29 semifinal games, including quite a few teams whose chances to actually make it appear much worse than the likelihood that Old Dominion could beat Virginia Tech.
