College Football Playoff rankings 2022: Projected Week 11 Top 25 after LSU upsets Alabama, Georgia routs Tennessee, Clemson upset

Projected College Football Playoff rankings after Week 10: No. 2-1

2. Ohio State Buckeyes

In all honesty, I don’t know if Ohio State is the second-best team in college football. But after the committee ranked them in this spot (which I didn’t agree with in the first place) and then they picked up another road win against Northwestern (and with all of these other teams going down around them), I don’t see a world in which the Buckeyes fall from this spot. Again, though, it was not impressive on Saturday.

Playing in admittedly awful conditions with winds gusting up to 40 mph with driving rain, Ryan Day insisted on throwing the ball consistently throughout the afternoon to very little success compared to what CJ Stroud and his cohorts can normally offer. Meanwhile, they struggled to consistently run the ball and their run defense was problematic. It just wasn’t good, but a win is a win, which is more than a lot of teams can say after Saturday.

1. Georgia Bulldogs

I have to say, it’s more than a little vindication that I maintained that Georgia should be the No. 1 team in the country for the first College Football Playoff rankings and they were able to go out and deliver the performance that they did against Tennessee. Yes, it was only a 14-point win, but it was so much more dominant than that with the Vols not finding the end zone until garbage time, the Dawgs defense looking certified elite, and Stetson Bennett IV and the offense jumping out to a lead and then just milking the clock.

The big knock on Georgia was the team’s lackluster showings against Kent State and Missouri in addition to a lack of quality wins outside of the season-opener against Oregon. But now the Bulldogs have completely annihilated two Top 10 teams in the rankings with the 49-3 win over the Ducks and now this domination of Tennessee.

The more things change, the more they stay the same, and the Dawgs are the best team in college football.
