College Football Playoff Predictor: SEC chaos arrives, and we're only getting started

The SEC is running out of fallback candidates for the top spot in college football. And good luck ranking any team after Texas, Georgia and Alabama.

The College Football Playoff Predictor suggests that chaos is brewing in the SEC. LSU's 41-point victory over Clemson in the season opener quickly established the team as the best in college football. Texas, after overcoming a 20-point deficit, defeated Ohio State in a thrilling game, rising to the top of the USA TODAY Sports Playoff Predictor.

Florida's performance has been inconsistent, with a significant loss to Ole Miss and a subsequent rise in rankings. Ole Miss secured a crucial win against LSU, solidifying its position as the best team in the nation. Georgia, known for its resilience, faces Alabama in a crucial matchup, while Texas and Ohio State await their first-round byes.

The SEC playoff picture remains uncertain, with only Georgia, Alabama, and Texas currently projected to secure spots.
