This week is the first CFB Playoff Committee Ranking. There are currently five unbeaten P5 teams, so who is left out at this time?
AP Ranking
#1 - UGA
#2 - UM
#3 - OSU
#4 - FSU
# 5 - UW
My top 4 - OSU, UM, UGA, FSU, UW (5)
Anyone that knows me, knows that I have a strong dislike of OSU, with that said I would place them #1 at this time. They have two high quality wins, beating two top 10 teams in ND and PSU, they have the best player in the nation in Harrison Jr. They are playing terrific defense with a complimentary offense which is a vastly different approach than the Buckeyes have shown the past decade.
UM, with all the controversy and a weak schedule this far, what they have done on the field is still incredibly impressive. Their margin of victory is 40 - 6 through eight games. I heard that is the best ratio in over 60 years through 8 games. JJ McCarthy is second in the NCAA in passing efficiency at 199!! They are the 3rd in total defense, and first in scoring by nearly four points, and 9th in rush defense and number one in redzone defense.
UGA - well, for being two time defending champs they’ve kind of been under the radar. The main thing with them is their 25 game win streak. I do think they are playing their best football now, they smacked UK, and FL today, they are near the top in total defense as usual, Beck is playing very efficiently and not turning it over, the running game has gotten stronger the last 3-4 games, the team is just really really good. I think their biggest obstacle remaining is a pretty good Ole Miss team. They seem to be on cruise co trip right now.
FSU - this was tough because I think UW has the best win outside of Texas over Bama. I think Oregon blew it more then UW took it though. Oregon HC Lanning made some significant blunders that cost Oregon in that game. The past few weeks FSU appears to be getting stronger while UW has struggled against a couple of 1 & 2 win teams. FSU has a much easier remaining slate than UW who faces USC, Utah, OSU, and Wazzu, whereas FSU’s only real foes remaining are Miami, and @FL. FSU and UW have similar offensive numbers, FSU is a little more balanced but is better defensively then UW IMO.
