Beware the beauty contest for No. 4

Say what you will about the College Football Playoff selection committee, but they've set the stage for drama over the season's final three weekends -- whether they did so intentionally or not.

Florida State is the lone undefeated team from the Power 5 conferences, but if the season ended today, the committee would be shipping FSU to Pasadena for a semifinal game against Oregon. And unless the Seminoles start winning more impressively, that's probably not going to change unless Alabama or Oregon were to lose again.


Mississippi State is the top-seven team that's least likely to be a conference champion, so the Bulldogs might've been in a desperate position if they had fallen out of the top four this week. But they did not. Will MSU eventually get jumped by a conference champion? Or will a road win in the Egg Bowl be enough to help the Bulldogs hold their ground?


Things are lining up for a high-profile Big Ten title game
