West Virginia (6-1)

Last Ranking: No. 8

Last Week: Lost To Oklahoma State 37-20

That loss to Oklahoma State was devastating for West Virginia. That’s what happens when the offense commits three turnovers though.

They still have a shot in the BIG 12, but it’s a wrap for their college football playoff hopes. They will take on Kansas next week.

Florida State (5-3)

Last Ranking: No. 12

Last Week: Lost To Clemson 37-34

Sorry, I can’t drop the ‘Noles from the No. 12 spot as they have played one of the toughest schedules in the country.

They played No. 3 Clemson head up(and the refs), and without a starting safety for the fourth quarter because of referee error.

Makes no sense to drop them just because they lost. They are still one of the better teams in the country. The ‘Noles will travel to Raleigh and take on NC State Saturday.
