Week 9 is in the books and like every week, we are going to predict the College Football Playoff rankings.
The first CFP rankings will be revealed on Tuesday night, so tune in to find out what the official rankings will look like.
Our top eight will remain the same since all teams either took care of business or had a bye week. Ohio State, Michigan, and Tennessee all took care of teams that had presented them with trouble in the past.
There were a couple of upsets in Week 9. Kansas State pounded Oklahoma State without their starting quarterback, Adrian Martinez and Louisville crushed Wake Forest.
We had a couple of new teams enter out top 25 this week. UCF defeated Cincinnati on Saturday and it will jump into the 25th spot and UC will find its way out of the rankings.
Keep reading to find out what we think the top 25 would look like if it were released on Sunday.
