After the first weekend of November, where does everyone stand around the country? Here are the latest projections of the College Football Playoff rankings.

College football rang in the new month of November with a busy slate of games. Not a single one of the teams named in the first College Football Playoff selection committee’s Top 25 rankings on October 30 was idle in Week 11, offering plenty of opportunities for teams to climb up the list — or plummet down the hierarchy.

Four games pitted ranked teams against one another, including the showdown of top-four Alabama and LSU at night in Death Valley. There were also earlier duels between Big 12 contenders Texas and West Virginia, a Big Ten clash at the Big House between Michigan and Penn State, and the SEC East battle between top-10 Georgia and Kentucky.

Beyond that, however, other ranked teams faced quality foes who were themselves looking to climb above the selection committee’s cut line and move up into the rankings. All the ingredients were in place for one of the most thrilling weekends of the 2018 season to date.

One team already bombed out of the rankings before Saturday even rolled around. Virginia, which opened at No. 25 in the committee’s Top 25, fell 23-13 at home against Pittsburgh. The loss ceded control of the ACC Coastal to the Panthers and will result in Virginia’s ouster from the rankings this week.

How did the Saturday action impact the way the next set of committee rankings will look on Tuesday? Here are the latest Saturday Blitz projections of the College Football Playoff Top 25 now that Week 10 action is in the books.
