There are 10 undefeated teams in college football remaining, and surprise — none of them are in the SEC. After eight weeks, the SEC is arguably the most wide-open conference, with five schools having between a 30% and 50% chance to make it to Atlanta, according to the Allstate Playoff Predictor.
Tennessee was the biggest playoff riser (22%) following its win against Alabama, while the Crimson Tide's chances of reaching the CFP sank by 25%.
And while no game in Week 9 will have a bigger effect on the CFP race than LSU at Texas A&M, the Friday night game between Boise State and UNLV will have monster implications on both the Mountain West Conference standings and the Group of 5 playoff positioning.
That's what the 12-team CFP has done — brought Boise State and UNLV into the conversation, along with Indiana, Kansas State and… Army and Navy?!
