Kirk Herbstreit, ESPN college football analyst updated its top 6 ranking 10th after a crazy week (ranked below).
Saturday included Georgia’s win over Tennessee, LSU’s 32-31 overtime win over Alabama and Notre Dame’s outright win over the Clemson Tigers.
In the Herbstreit top-6, I don’t expect anyone to have questions about teams 1-3. But with #4, people will have questions. Herbstreit has Oregon sitting in fourth place, meaning if the college football playoffs started today, the 8-1 Ducks would go through the tournament. Oregon’s only loss this season was a 49-3 loss to Georgia in the season opener.
If we rank teams with a loss, is Oregon better than Tennessee? I doubt it. Both have a defeat: against Georgia.
