For the BEST set of Top 25 teams, the 2016 College Football Playoff is supposed to be the pinnacle of polls. However, Week 11’s version has a lot of changes.

This is mainly due to the fact that there were upsets throughout the top half of the 2016 College Football Playoff Top 25. From the Aggies losing to the Bulldogs in Starkville, to Bama/LSU being its usual slug-fest, Week 10 did not disappoint. Let’s put it this way, neither Alabama nor LSU scored a point until the 4th quarter. That was the FIRST game of the season to be scoreless after 3 quarters. Needless to say, that game lived up to expectations.

Then you have Baylor that was absolutely DEMOLISHED by unranked TCU. Add in the controversy of the black jerseys, and you have the country behind TCU. Sorry, Baylor, but I’m not on your side. You’ve done this to yourself. Maybe you can take your #CAB wearing self out of the national spotlight for once. For the sake of your true fans, do this.
