Saturday was a wild day in the college football world, and once again, the landscape as it pertains to the College Football Playoff has changed. No. 4 Baylor was upset by West Virginia to start the day and then No. 2 Florida State defeated Notre Dame to end the night.

Each week we are seeing new teams emerge for the College Football Playoff and some teams are making their way back into the discussion.

So, after all that happened on Saturday, especially with Baylor now out of the top four, here is how ESPN analyst Kirk Herbstreit sees the top four teams shaping up as of right now following Week 8.


Not much has really changed, except for the fact that the Oregon Ducks have made their way back into the fold. After the loss to Arizona, many thought the Ducks would be out of it, but with all that has happened since then, Marcus Mariota and his team are right back in the thick of things.

How do you see your top four shaping up? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
