Florida, which postponed its matchup with LSU after the COVID-19 spike, lost its playoff hopes from 14% to 4% after losing to Gators Texas A&M last week. Aegis currently has a 0.5% chance of making the playoffs, while 4-1 Miami is at 0.4% and 3-1 Virginia Tech has a 0.3% chance.
Things will start to change drastically next week when the Big Ten kicks in. Currently, Ohio State, Wisconsin and Penn State are among the top eight teams to receive shots to make the playoffs.
