Following the first four games of the 2021 college football season, ESPN analyst Kirk Herbstreit is calling this the “toughest ‘top 4 + next 2’” he’s ever had to come up with.
Each week, Herbstreit ranks college football’s top-four teams plus gives his next two up, showing which teams he’d predict to be in contention for a College Football Playoff spot if the season were to end today.
Following an exciting Week 4 of football, Herbstreit’s top-four teams are:
TOP-FOUR
1. Alabama
2. Georgia
3. Oregon
4. Penn State
That’s the same top-four as the AP Top-25, and it’s hard to argue with that much.
But Herbstreit’s next two programs are what’s sure to cause some chatter.
NEXT TWO
5. Cincinnati
6. Florida
Now I like this. The polls have those next two up being Oklahoma and Iowa, but not Herbstreit. He went with the Bearcats and the Gators.
What a weekend of CFB games!!
After the 1st month of the season this could be the toughest “top 4 + next 2” I’ve had to come up with. As we approach October next weekend.
