Playoff Predictions: Teams That Will Be Eliminated From Playoff Contention in Week 6

Playoff Predictions: Teams That Will Be Eliminated From Playoff Contention in Week 6

Texas is one of 34 FBS teams still alive for the College Football Playoff entering Week 6. The Longhorns will be one of seven FBS teams eliminated from playoff contention in Week 6.

College Football Betting

Entering Week 6, the Big Ten and SEC are tied for most teams still in contention with eight apiece, followed by the ACC (seven), Pac-12 (six) and Big 12 (four). Notre Dame is the only independent in contention. And with the Longhorns' projected move from the "In" column to the "Out" column, the Big 12 will be left with only three potential playoff teams.

Here are the seven teams projected to be officially eliminated from playoff contention in Week 6.

Boston College

The playoff's first two-loss team — it'll happen eventually — is not coming from a messy ACC. Boston College's loss at NC State will knock them out.

Indiana

While Indiana plays in a division capable of sending a two-loss team to the playoff, that two-loss team needs some résumé wins and no blowout losses.

Last year's Ohio State team had several résumé wins (Penn State, Michigan State, Wisconsin) but a 31-point loss to Iowa ultimately kept them out. Indiana's trip to Columbus will be equally ugly.

Minnesota

While it's tempting to leave a two-loss Minnesota (after a loss to Iowa in Week 6) in the picture because, with significant help, they could win the Big Ten West with wins over Wisconsin and Ohio State, and the Big Ten Championship with a second win over Ohio State (or another strong East team), the Week 4 blowout loss to Maryland gives them no chance.

Mississippi State

A home loss to Auburn would be Mississippi State's third loss of the season. Three losses = Done.

[divider]

Missouri

It's a coin-flip game in Columbia (S.C.), one that goes South Carolina's way and gives Mizzou two losses and a three-game deficit in the SEC East race.

Texas

A two-loss team isn't coming from the Big 12 this year, especially one with a loss to Maryland.

Virginia Tech

It won't be surprising if a pissed-off Virginia Tech team scares Notre Dame in Blacksburg on Saturday, but the better team will prevail, thus kicking the Hokies out of the picture. Their loss to Old Dominion might've already knocked them out in the eyes of several committee members. A second loss officially knocks them out.
