Two more undefeated teams lost last week to bring the College Football Playoff picture into focus. Baylor and Minnesota were both considered longshots despite being unbeaten, and their losses have essentially eliminated them from contention. Their CFP odds<\/a> are now 150-1 for Minnesota and 250-1 for Baylor, and both teams will be double digit underdogs against whoever they face in their conference championship game, assuming they make it there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only three\nundefeated teams remaining are the three overwhelming favorites to\nclaim the national championship. Ohio State has the lowest\nodds<\/a> at +200 although the Buckeyes have the most\ndifficult path to the playoff. They must face Penn State this\nSaturday before traveling to take on Michigan next week, and from\nthere they will face either Minnesota or Wisconsin in the Big Ten\nChampionship Game. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ohio State has\nbeen the most dominant team in the nation but playing three ranked\nopponents in three straight weeks is not easy. Chase Young\u2019s return\nwill make the No. 1 defense in the nation even more lethal though,\nand the Buckeyes have the benefit of knowing that they stand a very\ngood chance of making the CFP even with a loss. That would certainly\nmake things more challenging, but Ohio State has a better resume than\nAlabama, as its 42-0 win over 9-1 Cincinnati is a fantastic\nnon-conference win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LSU is the team\nthat can most afford a loss. The Tigers already have wins over four\ndifferent Top Ten teams, so even a shocking defeat at the hands of\nTexas A&M or a loss to Georgia in the SEC Championship Game would\nlikely be overlooked by the Selection Committee due to their\nfantastic strength of schedule. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joe Burrow is a\n-3000\nfavorite to win the Heisman Trophy<\/a> through 10 games,\nand his play has made LSU a contender. The Bayou Bengals were 20-1 to\nwin the national championship at the start of the season, but those\nnumbers have steadily dropped with each impressive win. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clemson is in an\ninteresting spot. The Tigers have the easiest path to the College\nFootball Playoff, but they cannot afford a loss. Although they are\nthe reigning national champions, the ACC has been dreadful this\nseason, so a defeat in either of Clemson\u2019s last two games would put\ntheir status in doubt. It\u2019s highly unlikely that they lose to\neither South Carolina or the ACC Coastal winner, but either loss is\npotentially devastating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the initial\nCFP rankings were released, Georgia has been the highest ranked\none-loss team. The Bulldogs are currently in position to be chosen by\nthe Selection Committee, but they have two major problems. First,\nTexas A&M has a decent chance of knocking them off in Athens this\nweek, and they should not be\nfavored by 13 points<\/a> in that game. Jake Fromm has not\nplayed well in recent weeks, and Georgia\u2019s offense has not scored\nmore than 27 points in five games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other issue\nis that the Bulldogs will be underdogs in the SEC Championship Game\nto LSU. A loss in that game will end Georgia\u2019s chances of making it\nto the CFP barring a highly unlikely series of events, so there\nsimply isn\u2019t much value here. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Without Tua\nTagovailoa, it\u2019s highly unlikely that Alabama makes it to the CFP.\nThe Crimson Tide are the only team to make it to the CFP in all five\nyears of its existence, but a weak non-conference schedule and no\nconference championship makes their case very weak compared to\nothers. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oregon, Utah, and Oklahoma all have a cleaner path to the playoff than Alabama at this point. All three teams would likely be ahead of Alabama if they were to win out, but the best value lies in the Sooners. Oklahoma has struggled with both Baylor and Iowa State, but the Big 12 is a better conference than the Pac 12, and the Sooners have the stronger profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
