The College Football Playoff race is fairly well defined at this point. Six primary undefeated or one-loss contenders are left: Alabama, Michigan, Ohio State, Clemson, Louisville, and Washington. Five of those six throttled their opponents by 39 or more points last weekend. Alabama, the only one of the six not to score more than 50 points, won a slugfest with LSU and is running out of regular-season games that it could lose. It's clear that these contenders piled on the points in the hopes of impressing the College Football Playoff Committee, despite the (probably false) notion that the committee doesn't care about margin of victory when they make their rankings.
