Predicting the College Football Playoff rankings after Week 6
Week 6 has come and gone in the college football world.
There were some great games over the weekend. Alabama won against Texas A&M without the reigning Heisman trophy winner, Bryce Young. UCLA took care of business to stay undefeated against Utah.
There were a few upsets on the day as well. Notre Dame defeated BYU in Las Vegas, Arizona State beat Washington, and South Carolina took care of Kentucky which was without Will Levis at quarterback.
Each Sunday, we do a new prediction of what the College Football Playoff rankings would look like. You can see our previous rankings below.
Our top 10 remained unchanged after all of them won, save for Penn State being on a bye.
We have a few new teams making their first appearance in our CFP rankings. Kansas State and Illinois have played their way into being top-25 teams.
Here are our CFP rankings through Week 6.
