With just one week remaining in the regular season, ESPN college football analyst Kirk Herbstreit has updated his Playoff picture. The newest rankings come following a shocker in the top six, with Arizona State defeating No. 6 Oregon late Saturday night.

Herbstreit still has three teams from the SEC in his top five spots, and believes three power conferences will be represented in the College Football Playoff, as it stands right now. Here’s a look at Herbstreit’s updated rankings:

  1. LSU (11-0)
  2. Ohio State (11-0)
  3. Clemson (11-0)
  4. Georgia (10-1)
  5. Alabama (10-1)
  6. Utah (10-1)

Clemson was off this weekend, but the other five teams included in Herbstreit’s top six won their games this weekend. There wasn’t enough to make any changes inside the top four spots, but Oregon’s loss moved Utah up one from No. 7 to No. 6.

Will the College Football Playoff committee agree? We’ll find out Tuesday night.
