The College Football Playoff Selection Committee now has more than a half-season's worth of notes to consider ahead of next week's first rankings reveal as we enter the stretch run prior to conference championship weekend. Now that we've established a sample size and have some semblance of predictability for the sport's perceived national championship contenders, why don't we peek at the rest of the schedule and project final records for the current top 10? 

The elites we expected to be here in the preseason are mostly still out front, but several others have tailed off to make room for potential final-four busters, including an unexpected unbeaten out of the SEC. For many teams near the top of the rankings, the meat and potatoes portion of the slate begins as arduous matchups await over the final weeks of the regular season.

Depending where your program sits now, one loss may not eliminate you from the playoff picture, but it will certainly leave the margin for error at zero given no two-loss team has been selected in the eight-year history of the CFP.

Let's take a look at the leaders in the AP Top 25 and project how their records will look by the time the committee convenes for the final time this December to make its decisions.

1. Georgia (7-0)

You get the sense the defending national champions have been waiting in the weeds for more than a month in anticipation of a breakout performance in the national spotlight. It's been quite a while for Georgia since it drubbed South Carolina in September. That may come Saturday against Florida with intention to leave a mark. Games against nationally-ranked Tennessee, Mississippi State and Kentucky await thereafter. The Bulldogs are the SEC's best team, and will show it the rest of the way.

Projected final record: 13-0 (SEC champion over Alabama)

2. Ohio State (7-0)

Cruise control. Even when there's a potential pothole like the ugly first half against Iowa, the Buckeyes can quickly punch the gas and lap the competition in the Big Ten. At least that what it feels like this season. Ohio State will roll Penn State on the road to conquer its penultimate significant challenge prior to the showdown against Michigan on Nov. 26. That's where the Buckeyes will enact revenge en route to a Big Ten crown.

Projected final record: 13-0 (Big Ten champion over Illinois)
