My CFB rankings through week 7
This is derived using a weighted average of various advance metrics such as Strength of Record, Game Control, and a few others. It is mostly results based but there are a couple of predictive-based metrics included.

Top 25
1. Georgia
2. Alabama
3. Michigan
4. Michigan St
5. Cincinnati
6. Oklahoma
7. Ole Miss
8. Penn St
9. Pittsburgh
10. Iowa
11. Ohio St
12. Kentucky
13. Wake Forest
14. Oklahoma St
15. Oregon
16. Baylor
17. Clemson
18. Coastal Carolina
19. Notre Dame
20. NC State
21. Texas
22. Arkansas
23. Auburn
24. Florida
25. SMU

Other notable teams:
28. Arizona St
34. BYU
35. Virginia
44. Utah
64. Washington St
66. USC
67. Boise St
84. Utah St
110. South Florida
112. Georgia Southern
126. Arizona

Based upon that rankings, the NY6 Bowl Games would look as follows:
Orange: 1 Georgia vs 4 Michigan St
Cotton: 2 Alabama vs 3 Michigan

Rose: 8 Penn St vs 15 Oregon
Sugar: 6 Oklahoma vs 7 Ole Miss
Peach: 9 Pittsburgh vs 11 Ohio St
Fiesta; 5 Cincinnati vs 10 Iowa

I will add that this isn't how I think the season will end up. Odds are Oklahoma will end up in the playoffs if their season finishes as projected, and if Georgia beats Alabama again in SEC championship then Cincinnati has a shot a slipping in as the #4 team should they still be undefeated. I also don't think there will be 5 teams in the NY6 bowls as they will eventually have to play and beat each other. Will likely be at least 3 and could be 4, but I'd be surprised if there were 5. Kentucky and Oklahoma St would be the top candidates to replace one of the B1G teams. B12 team would for sure replace one of them if Oklahoma makes the playoffs due to Sugar Bowl affiliation.

BYU currently sitting at 5-2. Still have Virginia who we are rated about the same as. We get them at home so it's one that we should be favored but could go either way. Washington St and USC are both rated about the same as Boise and are games that we "should" win, but just as we found out vs Boise it is far from a guarantee that we will. Games against Georgia Southern and Idaho St are pretty much locks. That would give BYU worst case record of 7-5 but still best case of 10-2 as every remaining game is winnable, though I'm thinking we go 9-3. Most likely bowl game would be Independence Bowl vs either UTSA (rated #27 right now) or UAB (rated #46 right now).
