College Football Playoff Rankings: Projected Top 10 after Week 11

If the season ended today, the Colorado Buffaloes would be playing Washington State in the Pac-12 title game. Talk about an odd matchup for the conference’s biggest game of the year, but those two teams have easily been the biggest surprises in the Pac-12 this season and deserve to battle it out for a potential New Year’s Six bowl or even a playoff spot.

Right now, the Buffaloes are in the best position to make the playoff, ranking No. 12 in last week’s playoff poll and likely jumping a couple of spots, passing Texas A&M and Auburn this week.

Since a tough four-point loss to USC in the third conference game of the season, the Buffaloes have won four straight games and three of which have been by double digits. The playoff committee has to be impressed by the progress this team has made and there’s no way the Buffaloes are left out of the top 10.

Senior Sefo Liufau continues to be a solid quarterback and might be one of the most reliable in the conference. He could finally reach his goals that he’s been working four hard years to achieve. A conference title is within his grasp.
