Five weeks of college football fun is in the books. There have been some firings and high-fiving, some hot starts and hail marys. It’s been a whole lot of fun. And with that, Rece Davis has revealed his top 16 teams, including which four he thinks will make the College Football Playoff.

Here they are:
- Ohio State
- Alabama
- Clemson
- Louisville
- Houston
- Michigan
- Washington
- Texas A&M
- Tennessee
- Wisconsin
- Miami
- Nebraska
- Arkansas
- Ole Miss
- Stanford
- Baylor/Colorado
It’s interesting to note only one SEC team in the top four, while there are two ACC teams in the College Football Playoff according to Davis. Louisville remains in the top four despite losing to Clemson this past week. Florida State is a no-show on this list after losing to North Carolina on a field goal as time expired.
The Jim Harbaugh led Michigan Wolverines are in at No. 4 after grinding a win against Wisconsin. Stanford just catches on at the bottom of the list after a poor showing against Washington on Friday night.
What do you think about Davis’ list? Is there a huge oversight? Who’s not getting the respect they deserve?
