Kirk Herbstreit has updated his College Football Playoff picture following Week 4 action.

As he does every week, Herbstreit updated his top four teams — who he believes is qualified to reach the College Football Playoff. Right now Herbie does have one B1G team in the mix, along with one ACC squad and two teams out of the SEC.

Here’s who Herbstreit has tabbed as the four best teams in the country after four weeks of the college football season:

  1. Clemson
  2. Alabama
  3. LSU
  4. Ohio State

On the outside looking in is Georgia and Oklahoma.

Clemson is coming off a win over Charlotte, Alabama defeated Southern Miss, LSU pounded Vanderbilt and Ohio State blew Miami (OH) out of the water. Georgia had the most impressive win, knocking off No. 7 Notre Dame. Oklahoma was idle.

It is a bit surprising that Herbstreit didn’t include Wisconsin in one of the six spots after blowing out Michigan on Saturday. But, there’s still plenty of time for the Badgers to move up.
