Another great week of college football has ended and it has caused a shake up in my top 10 rankings. Comment down below who you think I missed and who should be higher or lower.
1. Alabama Crimson Tide
Alabama beat 12th ranked Ole Miss this week, 42-21, to keep their number 1 spot in my rankings. After Georgia had an amzing performance before them, I knew Alabama would have to have a good performance to keep the number 1 spot. They are hanging on and Georgia is creeping up to the number one spot with their amazing defense.
2. Georgia Bulldogs
Talk about an amazing defense. Georgia has only allowed 16 points on defense through five games this season and it has been against some good teams. It is tempting to put them at the number one spot and if they have another strong performance next week, they might find themselves there. It is looking more and more likely that we will see a Georgia vs. Alabama SEC Championship Game which everyone would tune in to watch.
3. Penn State Nittany Lions
Thanks to a loss by Oregon, the Nittany Lions find themselves ranked number 3 in my rankings. They have been playing solid football and they keep moving up in the rankings and if they keep winning they will be able to stay in this spot till the end of the year.
4. Iowa Hawkeyes
The Hawkeyes fell out of the top 4 in my rankings last week but got pushed back in this week. They have had some solid wins and they have been doing enough to have them in the top 4. This team could make the playoffs for the first time if they can continue to win.
5. Cincinnati Bearcats
The Cincinnati Bearcats had their biggest win in the last two years on Saturday by beating Notre Dame 24-13. Their playoff chances have increased dramatically as they look to be the first group of 5 school to make it since the playoff format was adopted.
6. Ohio State Buckeyes
The Buckeyes have had some close games butthey had a pretty convincing win against Rutgers on Saturday. If the Buckeyes could continue this level of play, they could easily find themselves in the playoffs because of their tough schedule. They are probably going to need to win out to make the playoff, but they could easilty do that.
7. Michigan Wolverines
Could this be the year that Michigan can beat Ohio State? They have definitely been playing good football this year and they could finally do something they have not done in a long time and that is beating Ohio State. It seems like the top 10 is only Big 10 and SEC team and a good percentage of them are.
8. Oklahoma Sooners
Oklahoma is playing like Notre Dame is but the only difference is that they do not have a loss. They have been squeaking out wins against teams that they shoud easily beat and that is not good for when they start to play better teams. It could also help them if they finally find a groove and start winning convincingly.
9. Oregon Ducks
Oregon was handed their first loss on Saturday when Stanford beat them in overtime. It is a hard pill to swallow for Ducks' fans since they were looking good and had a great chance for the playoffs, now they have to work their way back in.
10. BYU Cougars
BYU has found their way into the top ten after they lost Zach Wilson to the NFL. It is surprising that they have played well after they almost lost to Arizona which is not that good of a team this year. BYU could make a run here and get them close to the playoff hunt.
No ACC? Lol
