College Football Playoff picks after Week 7 - ESPN

With a little more than two weeks remaining until the first College Football Playoff rankings on Oct. 31, Week 7 provided some clarity at the top.

How will Saturday's top games affect the College Football Playoff chase? What are the current odds for the top four? The Allstate Playoff Predictor has the answers. Check back every week as the odds are updated following that week's games.

Washington secured the biggest win of the weekend, a thrilling win over fellow top-10 unbeaten Oregon, 36-33. Michael Penix Jr. connected with Rome Odunze in the final two minutes for a touchdown, then the Huskies held on as the Ducks missed a potential game-tying field goal as time expired.

With the win, Washington is in the driver's seat for a spot in the Pac-12 title game and firmly in the mix for a playoff nod.

The nation's top four teams in the AP poll — Georgia, Michigan, Ohio State and Florida State, respectively — all played as heavy favorites and all four took care of business.

The Bulldogs shook off another slow start to take down Vanderbilt, 37-20. The Wolverines continued their dominant start against subpar competition, rolling Indiana 52-7, while the Buckeyes defeated Purdue, 41-7. And the Seminoles remained unbeaten thanks to a 41-3 rout of Syracuse.

Next week should provide even more answers when Penn State travels to Ohio State for a showdown of Big Ten unbeatens.

With all that in mind, here's a look at how our ESPN college football writers ranked their top four this week.
