Top 3 Undefeated Teams Separate In Latest College Football Playoff Rankings

LSU, Ohio State and Clemson Remain Undefeated and at the Top of the College Football Playoff Poll

The top-7 teams in this week’s college football playoff poll were all big winners last week. That includes No. 1 LSU, whose 58-37 win over Ole Miss was the closest margin of victory.

In this week’s article at Forbes, I outline the college football playoff rankings with the top-7 spots unchanged. Minnesota dropped from No. 8 to No. 10 following its first loss of the season at Iowa, 23-19. And Baylor blew a 31-10 halftime lead at home in a 34-31 loss to Oklahoma to drop the Bears to No. 14.
