A Weekend Look at the NEW TOP TEN -- CFB


Here's what lies ahead this weekend for the teams ranked in the TOP TEN of the College Football Playoff Rankings:

#1:  Clemson (-12) -- plays #16 Florida State (7 - 1) at home
#2:  LSU (+6.5) -- plays #4 Alabama (7 - 1) on the road
#3:  Ohio State (-24) -- plays Minnesota (4 - 4) at home
#4:  Alabama (-6.5) -- plays #2 LSU (7 - 0) at home

#5:  Notre Dame (-8.5) -- plays Pittsburgh (6 - 2) on the road
#6:  Baylor (-17) -- plays Kansas State (3 - 4) on the road
#7:  Michigan State (-6) -- plays Nebraska (3 - 6) on the road
#8:  TCU (-5) -- plays #14 Oklahoma State (8 - 0) on the road
#9:  Iowa (-7) -- plays Indiana (4 - 4) on the road
#10:  Florida (-21) -- plays Vanderbilt (3 - 5) at home


What's shocking to me:
  • Clemson is a 12 point favorite over Florida State
  • Michigan State is only a 6 point favorite over Nebraska 
  • Notre Dame is the 2nd biggest road favorite of the TOP Ten and they play a 6 - 2 PIttsburgh squad that is 12 points from being undefeated.
