ESPN analyst and college football commentator Kirk Herbstreit released his top four schools on Twitter on Sunday morning and had a surprising top four of Oklahoma, Alabama, Miami, and Clemson after week eleven action.

His next two schools were Wisconsin and Auburn in his personal rankings.

Herbstreit gave Oklahoma the No. 1 ranking after their impressive 38-20 win over No. 8 TCU on Saturday night.

Before the season, Herbstreit had Alabama, Ohio State, Florida State, and USC as his four preseason picks to make the upcoming college football playoff. These are some rough picks with only Alabama hanging on currently in the Top 4 rankings.

No. 4 ranked Clemson won 31-14 against Florida State on Saturday afternoon.

Here are some other college football analyst's top picks on Sunday.

CFP:
Bama, Georgia, Auburn - 1 spot.
Clemson, Miami - 1 spot.
Oklahoma, Wisconsin - 2 spots.
Those teams deserve to control their destiny. Everyone else needs help.

Some order of Bama, Clemson, OU and Miami will make up the top 4. How far does UGA drop? Can Auburn creep closer to Wisconsin?
