Here’s a projected look at the College Football Playoff after Week 11 of the season.

Good luck deciphering this one the rest of the season. On Saturday, the College Football Playoff got turned upside down and left in a state of ruin. Three teams inside the top four lost and now the committee is going to have the toughest decision they have made yet trying to sort this out.

Even tougher for them is the fact that there is still games left on the schedule and this thing could turn out to get even more chaotic. No one can probably predict how the bracket’s going to turn out, but there are some safe assumptions to make.

With three teams losing in front of them, the Ohio State Buckeyes are probably jumping all the way up to No. 2 in the nation. They’re playing better than the the three teams that lost at the moment. While Clemson lost on Saturday, there is a chance they only fall to No. 4. They can thank Michigan and Washington for that.

Since Wisconsin at No. 7 already has a couple losses, that means Clemson is still in it with one loss. By virtue of coming into this weekend as the No. 2 team, they will suffer a drop lesser than that of the likes of Washington and Michigan.

Louisville might get the nod over them at No. 3 for now, but that’s likely to change if Clemson wins the ACC. By virtue of a conference championship, they would likely switch spots in the order. There’s no guarantee the Cardinals get in if they win out, as the committee might favor a conference championship over them not having one. The only thing that is for sure is that it’s not going to slow down at all over these final weeks.
