No one in the Top 4 was thinking about coming close to losing on Saturday. The 2016 College Football Playoff gods, however, had other plans. May this weekend serve as a reminder to the top teams, never let up.

Without a doubt, this weekend was full of Chaos. Number 2, 3, and 4 in the 2016 College Football Playoff Top 25 went down in one week. First time this has happened since the mid-80s. Want to know what the hit song was at the time? It was none other than “Take On Me” by a-ha. So it’s been a little while since those 3 teams have gone down.

Alabama remains king in College Football, and everyone else is scrambling to catch up. With their emphatic win over Mississippi State and Auburn’s loss, the Crimson Tide has clinched the SEC West with two games to go. But with two tough opponents remaining, Alabama cannot afford to slip up.

In other news, we have a newcomer into the Top 25. The Sun Belt (read that Fun Belt) has joined the Top 25 for the first time in history. Its representative is an 8-1 Troy squad that has only lost a close game to Clemson early in the season. #MACtion is in full swing as Western Michigan joins Alabama as the only undefeated teams remaining in the FBS ranks. Could be interesting if Western Michigan continues to Row the Boat.
