After Ohio State lost to Purdue, Notre Dame now has the best Strength of Record in the country. This is purely about accomplishment -- how difficult was it to achieve the record you have? Harder to go 7-1 with LSU's schedule than undefeated with Clemson or Alabama's so far.
Seth Walder ESPN Analytics
A loss to Purdue didn't eliminate the Buckeyes, but Ohio State's chance to reach the playoff dropped 47 percentage points. Meanwhile no one improved its playoff outlook yesterday more than Michigan, who is now the fourth-most likely team to reach the CFP.
Ranking the one-loss teams by playoff potential
One loss might not sink a team with College Football Playoff hopes, but it does mean that everything now has to fall perfectly into place for a top-four spot in the committee's final rankings.
The top storyline for Georgia and every Top 25 team
Can anyone challenge Bama? Is Ohio State's defense at a championship caliber? This is what's in store for the nation's top teams heading down the stretch.
Georgia has gained the respect of the Bottom 10
Georgia fans have been complaining about their team not getting enough national recognition, but after going from No. 2 overall to the Coveted Fifth Spot, they've earned the Bottom 10's respect.

The Pac-12 has just a 1 in 20 shot at putting a team in the playoff. Meanwhile, the SEC is still the most likely conference to get two teams in, but that number has dropped quite a bit over last few weeks.

The 10 teams most likely to reach the playoff, according to ESPN's Playoff Predictor. Georgia (27%) is still alive after its loss to LSU. For the Tigers it was not only the win but the way they won -- handily -- that put them on the board.
Seth Walder ESPN Analytics
Strength of Record top 10: strictly a measure a accomplishment this season. Achieving a 6-1 record with LSU's schedule was more difficult than going undefeated thus far with Clemson or Alabama's schedule.
Seth Walder ESPN Analytics
No team's playoff position improved in Week 7 more than Michigan. The Wolverines are now the sixth most likely team to reach the playoff, narrowly ahead of Oklahoma.

UGA head coach Kirby Smart on QB decisions, Fromm vs Fields. "It's easy to question it now and we'll look at just like everyone else. But there were a lot of mistakes made in a lot of places. We'll always go with the guy that we think gives us the best chance to win. But let's not pin mistakes on one guy tonight. There were plenty of mistakes to go around."

Before tonight LSU had hosted AP Top 2 teams 14 times and won only twice. They defeated No.2 Ole Miss in 1961 and No. 1 Florida in 1997. Now you can add No. 2 Georgia in 2018 to that short list.
LSU knocks off No. 2 Georgia for signature win
Joe Burrow passed for 200 yards and had two short touchdown runs, LSU's defense staggered Georgia's normally prolific offense, and the 13th-ranked Tigers beat the No. 2 Bulldogs 36-16 on Saturday to give coach Ed Orgeron a signature victory.

Just chatted with Kirby Smart at the UGA hotel in Baton Rouge. Not surprisingly, he's locked in. But he's also pumped for the Death Valley environment. "Man, that's why you want to play and coach college football, to have experiences like a big time Georgia-LSU game."
