College Football Playoff stock watch: Yes, Indiana has a better chance than Alabama

New York Times  

Every week, the College Football Playoff picture seems to get flipped upside down in some respect. In fact, as we head into Week 9, my projections give only eight teams above a 52 percent chance to make the Playoff: Oregon, Miami, Georgia, Ohio State, Penn State, Texas, Notre Dame and Clemson. They’re 7-0 for the first time since 1967, and my model projects them to have a 65 percent or greater chance to win in every remaining game except for their trip to Ohio State. If UNLV were to win, its Playoff odds increase to 52 percent from 32 percent, while Boise State’s odds would fall to 20 percent. If that 20 percent hits, Navy’s Playoff odds would increase to 10 percent, while Notre Dame would fall from 75 percent to 38 percent.
