Hello fellow FCFBers, and welcome to the Eliminator, where every week I will attempt to update the playoff race accordingly. Since it is only week 2, most people are technically still considered in the race. So for this week, I will only be covering teams on the fence or eliminated.

On The Fence:

FAU (0-2) TRENDING DOWN : A high profile hire from Georgia looked to turn around FAU’s catastrophic 0-12 season into success, but so far it has not worked out for FAU, taking big losses to top teams like Oregon and WKU.

Toledo (0-2) TRENDING DOWN : Former playoff snub has struggled early this season in two blowout losses. Time will tell if they can rebound.

Troy (1-1) TRENDING UP : Former embarassment at FAU found a new home in Troy. Many already wrote him off after the 0-12 season, but this week he has secured a 7-0 win against a solid Georgia Southern team, and spared himself from being eliminated.

Other OTF teams: Tulane, Liberty, Army, Oklahoma, Marshall, Arizona State, Missouri, South Alabama, NMSU, SDSU

Elimanated:

South Carolina (0-2): Suffering losses to weak teams like Rice and Georgia isnt a good look, and when you are in a conference as pityful as the SEC it doesnt help your chances. Even in the unlikely event the Cocks’ win out, their weak SOS will doom them.

This is the only team I could fully eliminate this week, even though i suspect many more could also be, but be prepared to see a mass elimination after week 3.
