Few College Football Playoff contenders were safe in Week 8. Four teams ranked in the top 10 of the AP poll lost.

How will this season'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.

The carnage started Friday night with Miami's upset loss to Louisville. Texas Tech, Ole Miss and Memphis were the other undefeated teams to lose this week. Ohio State, Indiana, Oregon and Alabama were big winners.

One game with huge playoff implications was the annual rivalry between USC and Notre Dame. After opening the season with two losses, Notre Dame needed a win to keep its CFP hopes alive and USC was the last remaining team on the Irish's schedule that is currently ranked. USC's credentials would have been bolstered with a win over the Irish.

The game turned into a big-play fest and a showcase for running back Jeremiyah Love, who rushed for 228 yards and a touchdown in the 34-24 win over USC. It was the most yards by a Notre Dame player ever against USC. USC's Jayden Maiava had 328 yards passing but the Trojans had four turnovers.
