I have a few things to say following this week's college football action...

For starters: I'm SO glad I didn't jump on the Clemson train! They proved to be fradulent just as I expected them to be!

I hope I don't jinx them... but... I'm a believer in the Hoosiers (who are one of the country's top teams this season and are fun to watch- I hope it continues!)

Iowa State... BRUTAL performance!!!

Finally... Penn State is always going to Penn State...

With that all said, it's time to reveal our 12-team college football playoff projections following Week 10 action. There's definitely some shakups following the results.

Drum roll please...

Oregon remains in the top spot after slapping around Michigan on their home field, while the Miami Hurricanes remain at No. 3 as they escaped with a win against Duke (the score makes it seem like a blowout, but it wasn't for three quarters of the game).

Georgia jumps from No. 4 to No. 2 (even though I'm starting to doubt Carson Beck and the Bulldogs), while BYU claims the Big 12 Champion slot as they continue to climb up the rankings.

The biggest debate that I had revolved around the Nittany Lions: how far do you move them after losing to a top-five ranked team?

My ultimate answer: I swapped them with Texas, moving them down one spot (although it could've been a farther drop).

After Iowa State lost to Texas Tech, I removed them from the top-12 (maybe it's a little harsh, but I'm okay with it for now). Texas A&M also got the boot as they got smoked by South Carolina.

This is where we insert the Hoosiers, who claim the No. 10 spot.

At this point, I'm convinced there's no right answer. However, I'll continue to try and piece it together as we inch ever so closer to the end of the regular season.

Hey, how about them Tar Heels! Winners of two in a row heading into their 'Bye Week!'
