CFP Rankings Week #5

There were no real surprises.

#1 - Ohio State (12-0)
#2 - LSU (12-0)
#3 - Clemson (12-0)
#4 - Georgia (11-1)
#5 - Utah (11-1)
#6 - Oklahoma (11-1)
#7 - Baylor (11-1)
#8 - Wisconsin (10-2)
#9 - Florida (10-2)
#10 - Penn State (10-2)

So, on to Championship Weekend.

Utah (5) vs Oregon (13), Friday 8 PM.
Baylor (7) vs Oklahoma (6), Saturday 12 PM.
Georgia (4) vs LSU (2), Saturday 4 PM
Virginia (23) vs Clemson (3), Saturday 7:30 PM
Ohio State (1) vs Wisconsin (8), Saturday 8 PM

Oh boy. There are so many possibilities for chaos here.

The first question becomes what happens if Utah wins and Georgia loses? Could Utah jump Georgia? If Utah and Georgia lose is it possible the winner of Oklahoma-Baylor leapfrogs them both? What happens if Wisconsin beats Ohio State?

Ohio State handled Wisconsin pretty easily during the year 38-7. I don't see the change of venue making that big a difference so I think Ohio State stays #1.

I'm going to go with LSU over Georgia. The LSU defense may still be a bit questionable but I think their offense is going to put up points even against Georgia.

Dabo Swinney has Clemson motivated and pissed cause they don't get no respect. I think Virginia is in serious trouble.

Baylor gave up 17 unanswered points to Oklahoma in the forth quarter of their 1st game. I think this time around Baylor gets revenge.

As for Utah and Oregon, I just don't know enough about the two teams to hazard a guess.
