  "account": "The College Football Playoff rankings introduced on Saturday confirmed the necessity to overreact to the first set of rankings. This weekend saw six matchups between teams ranked within the top 20, resulting in seven teams with legitimate playoff hopes suffering defeats. Only No. 1 Miami's playoff hopes remain relatively secure, as the other six teams either lost their second or third games. It is highly likely that two teams with a 9-3 record or fewer will secure a spot in the final 12-team playoff. Four of the teams that lost this weekend have no wiggle room, with three weeks remaining in the regular season.",
