"College Football Playoff Picture: Ohio State Surges to No. 1, Uncertainty Remains in Top Tier"
TL;DR
After Week 9, there is no clear favorite among the top tier teams in the College Football Playoff projections. Ohio State may be ranked No. 1, but Georgia and Michigan are still the teams that have the highest chances of winning the national title based on simulations. Florida State also has a strong chance due to the ACC's perceived weakness. The recent loss by Oklahoma has made it more likely for the Big Ten to have two teams in the playoff. The projections are subject to change as more games are played.
