Kirk Herbstreit has a new top 4 after No. 3 TCU fell to Kansas State in the Big 12 Championship and No. 4 USC lost to Utah in the Pac-12 Championship.
According to Herbstreit, the two top teams aren’t in question and belong to Georgia and Michigan. Georgia handily defeated LSU 50-30 in the SEC Championship, and Michigan took care of business in Indianapolis, defeating Purdue 43-22 in the B1G title game. Both teams kept their perfect streaks alive, advancing to 13-0 on the season.
The order of the third and fourth teams on Herbstreit’s list isn’t quite as clear cut, but the analyst notes TCU and Ohio State should be the final two teams in the CFP. Herbstreit currently has the Horned Frogs in the third spot, and the Buckeyes in the last spot, but notes the position could change based on the committee’s decision.
