Week 8 of the college football season is fast approaching, and as the season progresses the field of teams is starting to make the College Football Playoff picture become clearer. With that being said, there are still a lot of games that will shape which four teams make the final cut.
The top two remain the same this week, but we saw plenty of movement from the other seven slots. The Clemson Tigers also maintained their spot in the rankings ahead of Week 8.
Three teams that were featured last week have fallen out due to their performances on the field. The USC Trojans, Oklahoma State Cowboys, and Penn State Nittany Lions all suffered losses to kick them out of the top 10. This week three new teams make the cut with USC and Oklahoma State now on the outside looking in.
As we move into Week 8, I break down this week’s edition of the CFP top 10 projections. This is how I believe the committee would rank them and not my own top 10.

The Ohio State Buckeyes are back to action this week against the Iowa Hawkeyes. With an inept Hawkeyes offense coming to town, I wouldn’t expect this game to be close. Not like Ohio State has played in many close ones this season.
