Michigan (9-1) and Clemson (9-1), which both lost Saturday, round out the top 4.
Louisville (9-1) comes in at No. 5 this week. Kentucky will have a chance to knock Louisville out of the playoff picture in two weeks.

Alabama has games remaining vs. Chattanooga, Auburn and Florida. Barring a disaster, the Tide will be in the playoff.
This week, Ohio State plays at Michigan State and Michigan hosts Indiana. Then the Buckeyes and Wolverines will do battle the following week. If Michigan wins, they are on to the Big Ten title game. If Ohio State wins, they get a huge victory but Penn State will advance to the title game. Wisconsin will likely be the opponent in the Big Ten championship game, but Nebraska still has a chance.
Clemson needs to get a difficult road win at Wake Forest this weekend then hold off South Carolina next week. The Tigers also hold the head-to-head win over Louisville, which still has to travel to Houston and host Kentucky.
Believe it or not, there are still scenarios out there that could get Washington, Wisconsin, Penn State, Oklahoma and even Colorado into the playoff.
