A potential stadium conflict could arise if the Miami Hurricanes host a first-round College Football Playoff game.

Miami drops out of our latest top-four projection, along with Texas Tech following its 26-22 loss at Arizona State. The Red Raiders' setback adds even more chaos to the Big 12 race, where nearly a dozen teams remain mathematically alive for the conference title at midseason.

Hugh Freeze's squad hit a field goal to go up 17-10 with 10:31 remaining in the fourth quarter, but were unable to keep fend off Missouri. The loss drops Auburn to 3-4 on the season and has the calls for Freeze to be fired growing as loud as ever.

The Volunteers are Alabama’s fourth consecutive ranked opponent after victories against Georgia, Vanderbilt and Missouri. Ty Simpson is our midseason Heisman winner after his performance through the first six games of the season.

Hurricanes look to stay perfect on the season when they battle the Louisville Cardinals in an ACC matchup on Friday night. Louisville is coming off a 30-27 overtime loss to Virginia on Oct. 4, while Miami defeated Florida State 28-22 that same night.

No. 2 Miami was shocked at home by unranked Louisville, a 13 1/2-point underdog that picked off four Carson Beck passes on the way to a 24-21 victory Friday night that should land the Cardinals in the rankings on Sunday. Not long after that, Minnesota finished off No. 25 Nebraska, 24-6.

As a reminder, in PFF's grading scale, 60.0 is the baseline for an "average" grade. 70.0-79.9 is considered above average, 80.0-89.9 is good, whereas 90.0 and higher is elite. On the opposite end of the spectrum, 59.9-50.0 is below average, 49.9-40.0 is considered poor, whereas 39.9 and below is very poor.
