"Two top-10 teams fell on the road to unranked opponents. A third fell to a lower-ranked team. No. 5 Georgia flirted with disaster, as always, and just because nothing is allowed to make total sense in the ACC, No. 15 Virginia and No. 16 Louisville also thought hard about face-planting before rallying. Week 10 didn't give us quite as many absolute disasters as it could have, and the damage was mostly contained to the increasingly chaotic ACC."
"These are the three most likely teams to make the CFP, and while the playoff committee could overthink and try to talk itself into ranking Alabama ahead of A&M or something because of ranked wins, the Aggies deserve the edge to me, both because of their road win over Tier 3's Notre Dame and the extremely important fact that they didn't lose to a 4-4 Florida State team like the Tide did."
Week 10 produced unexpected losses: two top-10 teams lost on the road to unranked opponents and a third lost to a lower-ranked team. No. 5 Georgia narrowly avoided a collapse. The ACC remained chaotic as No. 15 Virginia and No. 16 Louisville rallied after near-upsets. With two-thirds of the season complete, teams shift focus to Playoff positioning. Playoff Tiers group teams by CFP odds: Tier 1 includes Indiana, Ohio State and Texas A&M; Tier 2 lists Ole Miss, Oregon, Alabama, BYU and Texas Tech. Each weekend's losses moved teams down one tier, tightening the race.
