College Football Poll #2

The 1st College Football Playoff Poll had the following schools in the top 10.

#1 - Clemson (8-0)
#2 - LSU (7-0) 
#3 - Ohio State (8-0) 
#4 - Alabama (7-1) 
#5 - Notre Dame (7-1)
#6 - Baylor (7-0)
#7 - Michigan State (8-0)
#8 - TCU (8-0)
#9 - Iowa (8-0)
#10 - Florida (7-1)

Only the top four will make it to the National Championship playoff. The AP list was slightly different.

#1 - Ohio State (8-0) 
#2 - Baylor (7-0)
#3 - Clemson (8-0) 
#4 - LSU (7-0) 
#5 - TCU (8-0)
#6 - Michigan State (8-0)
#7 - Alabama (7-1) 
#8 - Notre Dame (7-1)
#9 - Stanford (7-1)
#10 - Iowa (8-0)

Here's how things went for the top 10 teams yesterday.

#1 - Clemson (9-0) beat Florida State (7-2) - 23-13
#2 - LSU (7-1) lost to #4 Alabama (8-1) - 30-16
#3 - Ohio State (9-0) beat Minnesota (4-5) - 28-14
#5 - Notre Dame (8-1) beat Pittsburgh (6-3) - 42-30
#6 - Baylor (8-0) beat Kansas State (3-5) - 31-24
#7 - Michigan State (8-1) lost to Nebraska (4-6) - 39-38
#8 - TCU (8-1) lost to Oklahoma State - 49-29
#9 - Iowa (9-0) beat Indiana (4-5) - 35-27
#10 - Florida (8-1) beat Vanderbilt (3-6) - 9-7

So Bama should move up and TCU and Michigan State should drop out of the top 10. Baylor didn't do much for its case and neither did Florida. If I was a betting man I would expect the top four next week to be:

#1 - Clemson (9-0)
#2 - Ohio State (9-0)
#3 - Alabama (8-1)
#4 - LSU (7-1)

There's an outside chance of Notre Dame taking over the #4 spot but I doubt it. I imagine Baylor isn't real happy being at #6 but I don't see that a 31-24 win over Kansas State does much for arguing they should move up.
