College Football Playoff rankings: 5 chaos scenarios entering Rivalry Week

You think you know how the College Football Playoff will play out, but you have no idea. These are the chaos scenarios that would make everything nuts.

The latest College Football Playoff rankings are out. Pretty soon, we’ll know who the final four teams are and which programs will ultimately be competing for a National Championship this season.

The top eight right now is the area to focus on with all the chaos scenarios. No. 1 Alabama, No. 2 Miami, No. 3 Clemson and No. 4 Oklahoma held onto the top four spots once again. No. 5 Wisconsin, No. 6 Auburn, No. 7 Georgia and No. 8 Notre Dame rounded out the top eight.

Right now, anything can change in these last couple of weeks of the regular season and the conference championship games. College football always finds a way of turning everything into chaos at the last second.

Needless to say, there is plenty of chaos bubbling at the surface about to bust. All it takes is a few games to go wrong and suddenly the playoff committee will have the biggest nightmare possible on their hands. Here are five chaos scenarios.

5. UCF wins out

Every year there is a team that comes from a non-power five conference that is just waiting there praying for chaos. UCF is that team this year with an undefeated record and hoping that everything falls apart ahead of them.

Now, realistically they aren’t going to get in and this scenario gets brought up each and every year without anything ever actually happening. Still, the argument will be made that they should have a right to compete if they go undefeated.

That point will be stronger if college football quickly sees a bunch of two-loss teams trying to get into the final four. UCF can then play the role of the martyrs in this situation which could spur change in how things are looked at. An undefeated record for the program is the first small step in chaos.
