The battle for the playoffs is heating up. Preseason favorites like Clemson and Ohio State have lost and that has opened the door for just about everybody else. Even Alabama looks almost susceptible. For now we have Georgia joining Alabama in the playoffs from the SEC. The other two spots currently belong to Oklahoma and Oregon. A bevy of Big Ten teams are right in the mix too. Iowa and Penn State are both looking very good and deserve to be in the conversation at the moment.
