The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Who says we don’t have a playoff in Division I-A football? I’m not a poll voter any more but here is my Top 10 and the playoff/elimination games they must win to have a chance to play for the national championship.
1. LSU (3-0): Oct. 6 vs. Florida; Nov. 3 at Alabama. The Tigers would probably have to beat Florida again in the SEC championship game.
2. Southern Cal (2-0): Nov. 10 at California; Nov. 22 at Arizona State.
3. Florida (3-0): Oct. 6 at LSU; Nov. 10 at South Carolina; The Gators would probably have to beat LSU again in the SEC championship game.
4. Oklahoma (3-0): Oct. 6 vs. Texas in Dallas; Big 12 championship game.
5. West Virginia (3-0): Sept. 28 at South Florida; Oct. 27 at Rutgers: Nov. 8 vs. Louisville.
6. California (3-0): Nov. 10 vs. Southern Cal; Nov. 17 at Washington.
7. Texas (3-0): Oct. 6 vs. Oklahoma in Dallas: Nov. 23 at Texas A&M.
8. Ohio State (3-0): Oct. 27 at Penn State; Nov. 17 at Michigan.
9. Penn State (3-0): Saturday at Michigan; Oct. 27 vs. Ohio State.
