Bob Green appears to be on the cutting edge, using the first CFP Rankings. They were announced Tuesday.
NC State is indeed ranked, mostly because there is still a tiny bit of hope that it needs to squeeze out of you.
It is very wet in Charlottesville for the Pitt - Virginia game. There are puddles of water in the center of the field.

Halftime: Virginia 10, Pitt 7
The game has been sloppy at times with lots of penalties due to the weather.

Pitt's rushing game and offensive line continues to impress at UVA. And their field goal kicker just nailed another 53 yarder to just about ice it. He's the Anti-Blewitt
Final: Pitt 23, Virginia 13.
Final analysis is too much Darrin Hall for Virginia to handle. The Pitt RB rushed for 229 yards and three TDs.

That is true...we left a minimum of 9 points on the field, and as many as 21. With over 600 yards of offense, 45 is a disappointing ratio of production. Clearly the Pitt loss was the result of bad defense more than bad offense or special teams, but both made a ton of mistakes that could have led to a win in spite of the defensive problems.

It’s that time of year in which good seasons can become historic, mediocre seasons can be saved, bad seasons can turn ugly and coaches will determine whether or not they’ll be back again next year.

That's a well written article with some good observations, but he plays fast and loose with his memory on what happened in what year...saying the 8 lateral play was in 2016 and mixing up Duke's four game losing streak year with their six game losing streak year. Also apropos of nothing, Brett and I knew each other when we were both at U of South Carolina...
IIRC, Sourpuss Johnson can put an end to unc's meager bowl hopes today, unless of course they qualify as academic stars at 5-7 (attempt at humor or irony or something)
Georgia Tech 14, Carolina 7 early in the 2nd Quarter. Carolina's points produced by the defense recovering a fumble and running it back for a TD.
Clemson destroying Louisville 28-3.
Syracuse 14, Wake Forest 10.
