There has been plenty of upsets this year and some teams have surprised with their start to the season. Let's take a look at the five burning questions this week.

1) With all the carnage of the past two weeks, who are your 4 Playoff teams and who are your first two teams out (Seeds 5 and 6)?

Liam McMahon: After the incredible week that was, there is a clear debate about who should be in the Final Four were it to start tomorrow. Mississippi State, Florida State, Ole Miss, Baylor, Notre Dame, Auburn, Alabama and Oklahoma all can make cases for their inclusion. But, should it start tomorrow, my Final Four would be 1) Mississippi State, 2) Ole Miss, 3) Baylor, and 4) Florida State. The first two out are 5) Notre Dame and 6) Auburn. Given their last three weeks, I don't see any way that Mississippi State and Ole Miss aren't #1 and #2. The beauty of the playoff system is that the preseason rankings don't matter; the rankings are solely based on the bodies of work presented throughout the season and these two have been the most impressive. I have Baylor next at #3 because of the impressive way that they beat Texas and then the comeback against TCU. To go down by 21 points in the fourth quarter and come back is incredible. I have reservations about their defense especially after last week. I really don't want to put Florida State in at #4, but no other team's body of work is more impressive than theirs. While they have not impressed this year, no other team has impressed more. Should Jameis Winston be suspended for the long term though, that will change.

Kaleb Isenhour: Mississippi State, Florida State, Baylor, and Oregon. First two out: Ole Miss, Auburn. Miss. State, Florida state, and Baylor will all go undefeated. I think Oregon will sneak in by winning out, and getting help from Ole Miss losing to Miss. State and....(hold the gasps) Arkansas. I also think Auburn either loses to Bama or Ole Miss, putting them at 2 losses.

Jon Fox: My four playoff teams right now are: The winner of the Egg Bowl (Miss state - Ole Miss), Alabama (or the loser of the Egg Bowl if they only have one loss), Michigan State and Florida State. The last two out are Alabama (or the loser of the Egg Bowl) and Oregon.

Mac Magee
1. Miss. State - 2 big SEC wins
2. FSU - Defending Champs undefeated and beat Clemson w/o Winston and a good Ok. State team.
3. Ole Miss - Egg Bowl will decide a lot.
4. Notre Dame - They have a chance to prove they belong Saturday in Tallahassee.
5. Baylor - Great O, Bad D.... to be continued
6. Auburn - Manhandled by MSU, but there's still time.

Austin Litterell: If the playoff started today the four teams included would be Mississippi State, Florida State, Ole Miss, and Baylor. MSU and Ole Miss are bound to change since they play each other but as of this week their performances on the field would have them in. Everyone know Florida State has not played all that well, but they are 6-0 still so they deserve to be in. Baylor showed a lot in their comeback against TCU. They have a tough test this week though against West Virginia. The first team out would be Notre Dame. The Irish have been impressive and have a chance to impress against the Seminoles. Alabama would be the second team out. They arguably have the best loss of any one loss team.

Matthew Evans: It will be interesting to see how the selection committee weighs the value of being a conference champion with their selections. Some folks out there are saying that all four teams should have to win their conference to be eligible for the playoff and I agree with that to a certain extent. I feel like the top 3 seeds should be conference champions and the fourth is a "wild-card".

With that being said, my Top 4 College Football Playoffs teams as of right now are:

#1 Mississippi State (6-0, #1 in my power poll)

#2 Florida State (6-0, #4 in my power poll)

#3 Notre Dame (6-0, #5 in my power poll)

#4 Ole Miss (6-0, #2 in my power poll)

The first two left out also come from the best conference is college football:

#5 Auburn (5-1, #3 in my power poll)

#6 Alabama (5-1, #6 in my power poll)

Matthew Dixon: I have Florida State, Mississippi State, Ole Miss and Baylor as my top 4. My next two out would be Michigan State (shocker) and Notre Dame. The top four are pretty clear as they are undefeated but Michigan State has worked their way back up after a loss to Oregon in week two. The last two games (27-22 win over Nebraska and 45-31 Win over Purdue) have left some questions about the performance of those two games. The winner of the Notre Dame-Florida State will drop out of the top four teams for me, but they are not completely eliminated with only one loss.

2) Both Mississippi teams are at 6-0. Will they both enter the Egg Bowl at 11-0 with an SEC Championship Berth on the line?

McMahon: I don't see both Mississippi teams entering the Egg Bowl 11-0. Given the strength of the SEC, it's truly possible to lose to any team in that conference. That being said, Mississippi State face some relative lightweights coming up. With match-ups against Kentucky, Arkansas at home and then UT-Martin, they can probably expect to head to Tuscaloosa at 9-0. That being said, they'll be heading to Tuscaloosa to face what will be a desperate Alabama team. Should they still entertain hopes of a spot in the playoff, the Tide need to win out. Meanwhile, Ole Miss face a trip to LSU, host Auburn and then travel to Arkansas. The Razorbacks in back-to-back weeks have nearly beaten Texas A&M and then Alabama. Aside from those, the match-ups with LSU and Auburn are self-explanatory. While I'm not sure where the loss might come, I don't expect both teams to head into the Egg Bowl at 11-0.

Isenhour: The first question answers this question. I believe Mississippi State will finish the season undefeated, beating Ole Miss. Ole Miss loses to Arkansas the week prior to the Egg Bowl.

Fox: Yes, they will. Ole Miss should beat LSU and Auburn. Miss State only has Alabama left. 

Magee: No, and yes. Not undefeated, but that game will be for it all.

Litterell: Ole Miss has the best chance to into the Egg Bowl undefeated. They have to go to LSU but, they are not as good as they have been. Their toughest remaining game is at home against Auburn. Bo Wallace has to remain consistent for the Rebels to keep winning. Mississippi State still has to go to Alabama and that will be the one they lose.

Evans: No, I think that they will both lose in November before the Egg Bowl. I see Auburn coming out of Oxford victorious on November 1 and Alabama defending their home on November 15th against Mississippi State. Those are the two toughest games remaining on either team's schedule and I think they will be the ones that bite the Mississippi schools.

Dixon: Yes both teams will enter the Egg Bowl undefeated. They have both proven they are the two best teams in the SEC West and there is no reason to expect that to change. Alabama, Auburn, and LSU have all proven to not be nearly as good as the two Mississippi schools.

3) The Pac-12 is one of those conferences that has seen some surprising results. Which teams will be playing in the Pac-12 Championship Game?

McMahon: I like Oregon to take on Arizona. I think that the South is a wide open race, but even after their poor performance last week I think that Arizona should finish first in the South. In the North, I give Oregon the advantage solely because they take on Stanford in Eugene. That has evolved into an annual game that the country really looks forward to, and it will decide the North. Again, I give Oregon the advantage solely because it is in Eugene this year.

Isenhour: The Pac-12 championship will come down to a rematch of Oregon and UCLA, with Oregon coming out on top.

Fox: Stanford will beat Utah in the "Pac-12 Championship matchup that absolutely no one picked preseason."

Magee: After the dust settles it will be Oregon vs. UCLA, just like we all envisioned in August.

Litterell: In the Pac-12 North, the crown belongs to Oregon. They should beat Washington this weekend. They have Stanford at home as well. That loss to Arizona might wake up the Ducks. In the south, Arizona State is not a team to sleep on. The Sun Devils got lucky against USC, but they arguably have the best back-up quarterback in land. UCLA has been a disappointment, opening the door for ASU.

Evans: This is a very tough question even for someone who follows the Pac-12 like this writer does. When all is said and done, it is going to be the winner of the November 1st matchup between Stanford and Oregon from the North against the winner of the Arizona State-Arizona game on November 28th from the South.

Dixon: The North seems fairly straight-forward with either Stanford or Oregon coming out of that division. I like Oregon to beat Stanford and win the North because the Cardinal lack the necessary offense to succeed in Eugune. The South is very tough to decide. USC, Arizona, Arizona State, Utah, and even UCLA have a chance to take the South division crown. I was tempted to take Utah, but their killer schedule will prevent them from winning the games. I ended up on USC because they have Colorado, at Utah, at Washington State, California, and at UCLA to finish the conference schedule. All of those games are winnable for the Trojans.

4) The big game this week is #5 Notre Dame at #2 Florida State with the Seminoles as a double digit favorite. With that context, can Notre Dame actually go into Tallahassee and pull the upset?

McMahon: I think Notre Dame can absolutely go into Tallahassee and win. I have no idea why Florida State is a double digit favorite; sure they're undefeated but on the basis of their performances this year they shouldn't be #2. Had they started the year unranked, they'd be somewhere around #10 in the AP poll. Controversy continues to surround Jameis Winston, the defense still isn't healthy, and they struggled to beat the likes of Oklahoma State, Clemson and NC State. If Notre Dame play defense the way they did against Stanford, there is no reason they can't walk out of Tallahassee as winners.

Isenhour: No, I don't believe so. I don't think it's a blow out, but I just don't see Notre Dame having the fire power to compete with Winston and the Seminoles...but we know Brian Kelly will have them guys ready.

Fox: Notre Dame can beat Florida State. They have the offense to make the FSU defense sweat and the defense to try and force Winston into bad throws. Whether they win is a whole other package of crab legs. 

Magee: Not if Winston is eligible, which he is as of now. It was about a year ago today that FSU blew #3 Clemson's doors off and put FSU back on the football map. This is where the march begins.

Litterell: Notre Dame definitely has a chance to win this game. The Seminoles have not exactly been on fire through this point in the season. The defense is not as good, and Jameis Winston is one big distraction. Everett Golson has to keep playing at his highest level if the Irish want to win. With that being said, the Seminoles win this one.

Evans: Notre Dame absolutely can go into Tallahassee and beat Florida State AND they will. Notre Dame has the 8th best scoring defense in the country at 17.2 points allowed per game. That number would be lower had they not given up 43 points last week to North Carolina but that was a trap game between this one and their big showdown with Stanford. This is the year for Notre Dame to return to the National Championship picture and they will after a 31-24 victory on Saturday night.

Dixon: Can they win? Sure, that should be a given considering how College Football has transpired this year (and over the history of college fooball). However, Golson will have a turnover filled game and the defense will break at some point. The Irish may cover, but I don't see them winning.

5) Which game is most likely to produce an upset in Week 5?

McMahon: #10 Georgia @ Arkansas. The Razorbacks have been so close to massive upsets in the last couple of weeks, and at home I like them to beat Georgia. The 'Dawgs did not look good AT ALL last week, and without the suspended Todd Gurley they are extremely vulnerable. There is upset potential also in Tuscaloosa as Texas A&M will face Alabama, but I think Georgia-Arkansas has the most potential for an upset.

Isenhour: Not sure if this is an upset or not, but I see #14 Kansas State going in to Norman and beating the #11 Sooners. Those Wildcats might even be a sleeper for the big 12 championship. They gave Auburn all they could handle. 

Fox: Arkansas can beat Georgia on saturday. The Razorbacks are much like South Carolina in that they have the big Oline, great Rbs and a ballsy coach and Georgia won't have Gurley. Also, its on the road in a loud stadium.

Magee: Keep your eye on Tennessee at #3 Ole Miss. Last 2 weeks might have taken a toll on the Rebels. UT played well in the 1st half against OU and had UGA on the ropes. Both were on the road. This might be the week that they sing Rocky Top again with their first SEC win: UT 33 Ole Miss 27

Litterell: Look out this weekend for Baylor and West Virginia. Morgantown is always a tough place to play and West Virginia is better than people thought. Clint Trickett and Kevin White have proven to be a lethal duo so far this season. They hung in with both Alabama and Oklahoma. Also, the kickoff for this one is at 11 a.m. so Baylor might not be quite woken up yet. Expect this game to be high scoring and close.

Evans: 5) My upset specials (not against the spread) for the weekend are West Virginia (+7.5) over Baylor, Washington (+20.5) over Oregon, Arkansas (+3.5) over Georgia, Kentucky (+10) over LSU and Notre Dame (+12) over Florida State.

Dixon: I have an awful track record of picking upsets so take this with extreme caution. My pick is Purdue (+13.5) over Minnesota. The offense under Austin Appleby has been excellent though the defense needs some work. However, that offense put up 31 points on Michigan State last week. Now that you know which team not to take this weekend (Purdue), y'all can thank me when Minnesota romps!
