College Football Playoff Rankings 2017: Projected top four after Week 11

With Week 11 of the college football season in the books, we take a look at what the College Football Playoff would look like if the season ended tomorrow.

Week 11 of the college football season was the best one to date, as it featured a ton of top-25 matchups. Not only were top 25 teams playing against each other, but multiple games featured battles between top-10 teams. As far as the College Football Playoff is concerned, Week 11 did a lot in showing who the true contenders for a shot are this season.

In Big Ten action, the left for dead Ohio State Buckeyes absolutely destroyed the Michigan State Spartans on Saturday, keeping their slim hopes alive. The Alabama Crimson Tide took on Mississippi State and barely escaped in SEC play. Staying with the SEC, Georgia had to go into Auburn to take on the No. 10 Tigers, and they suffered their first loss of the season. No. 5 Oklahoma played host to No. 6 TCU  in Big 12 play and won, 38-20.

The marquee game of the weekend, however, was where ESPN College Gameday set up shop on Saturday morning. For the first time in years, both the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and Miami Hurricanes are relevant in the same season. The Hurricanes came into this game with zero blemishes on their schedule while the Irish had only a loss to top-ranked Georgia. Miami dominated the Irish, and are still one of the only unbeaten teams in college football.

There are still a couple of weeks left in the season, so anything can happen, but Week 11 was an eye-opener in most cases. Conference title games are still ahead, as are three to four regular season games, and we should all be in for an exciting finish to the season. As we look forward to Week 12, let’s take a look at a projected College Football Playoff Rankings.
