The playoff picture is getting very interesting. The Big Ten likely has lost their hopes of getting two teams into the playoffs with Iowa’s lackluster loss at home to Purdue. There is still a long, long way to go though and at this point it would be nearly impossible to leave out an undefeated Cincinnati team. The Bearcats have their toughest games remaining at home and will be favored all the way through the regular season. But perhaps the more interesting aspect is that of the one-loss teams. At the moment Ohio State and Alabama are the top one-loss teams and it seems unlikely that they would be left out if they win their conference title games and end up with one loss on the season.
