Nine FBS teams have played games. They have played one game each.

If, by some incredible circumstance, the rest of the college football regular season is canceled, but the College Football Playoff isn’t, here’s how the postseason picture breaks down.

(New subscribers, if this is your first time receiving this newsletter, just know that it isn't always this stupid. We're here to have fun online, though.)

9. Rice (L vs. Stanford, 62-7)

The Owls were out of it from basically the first drive onward, looking far more hopeless than the other weird underdog of the night, Conor McGregor. All I remember from this entire game was Stanford parading up and down the Australia field.

8. Oregon State (L at Colorado State, 58-27)

Wish the Beavers could get bonus points for calling the Crying Jordan play and getting a Crying Jordan result out of it.

Oregon State used the playcall sign with Crying Jordan on it and immediately fumbled https://t.co/LPhf7Jq0Ga pic.twitter.com/EtZO8wyWPh — SB Nation CFB (@SBNationCFB) August 26, 2017

7. San Jose State (L vs. USF, 42-22)

SJSU was competitive against a talented team, taking a 16-0 lead thanks to some ghastly USF special teams. The competition evaporated.

6. BYU (W vs. Portland State, 20-6)

The Cougars spent way too much of this game on upset alert, leading by only eight points until six minutes remained. With LSU, Utah, and Wisconsin up next, confidence is low. BYU's only win is over an FCS team, so BYU isn't in this Playoff.

5. UMass (L vs. Hawaii, 38-35)

Yes, I'm ranking a team with a loss ahead of BYU in this made-up Playoff scenario. It came down to the wire and was against an actual FBS team.

4. Hawaii (W at UMass, 38-35)

The Rainbow Warriors finished a sweep of the Minutemen in probably the longest home-and-home in college football history, earning a place in this emergency Playoff.

3. USF (W at San Jose State, 42-22)

The Bulls took a while to get rolling, but this is still a three-score win far away from home. I need you to look at this punt.

2. Colorado State (W vs. Oregon State, 58-27)

CSU opened its pretty stadium by putting a layup line on a theoretical Power 5 team.

1. Stanford (W vs. Rice, 62-7)

Stanford scored on its first four drives, and only needed to score on its first two. I debated having CSU at No. 1, since its opponent seems to have more of a pulse than Rice does, but this was a total suffocation. CSU and Stanford can settle it in the Playoff.

With that, we have:

No. 1 Stanford vs. No. 4 Hawaii in the Rose Bowl semifinal

No. 2 Colorado State vs. No. 3 USF in the Sugar Bowl semifinal

(Actually, we have hundreds more college football games, with Week 1 stuff resuming on Thursday.)
