Ohio State, 7-0
The Buckeyes were off, and remain atop this poll as they head into their final 5 games of the regular season.
Next: vs. Penn State
Indiana, 8-0
Indiana demolished UCLA 56-6 and put a swift end to their nice little run. Absolutely no one wants to see this team right now.
Next: @ Maryland
Texas A&M, 8-0
The Ags delivered a knockout blow to both LSU and Brian Kelly, sending shockwaves and ripples through the college football world as attention is turned toward the next high profile coaching hire. This is a very dangerous team that is still probably being underrated by most.
Next: BYE
Alabama, 7-1
Survival is the name of the game, and Bama did just that in a 29-22 win over South Carolina in which it trailed late in the 4th quarter. Still, they have yet to drop a conference game and will have a week off before a somewhat tricky final stretch.
Next: @ BYE
Georgia, 6-1
Curiously, the Dawgs pulled ahead of neighbors Tech in this week’s poll, despite having been on a bye. It’s a tough closing schedule with a couple rivalries and the Longhorns coming to Athens.
Next: @ Florida (Jacksonville)
Oregon, 7-1
Oregon got the win over Wisconsin 21-7 in an ugly rainy game. They still have a difficult schedule to manage and may need to run the table for a playoff berth with how the field is shaping up. It starts this week in Iowa City.
Next: @ Iowa
Georgia Tech, 8-0
Rolling right along, though dropping in this week’s poll, Tech picked up a 41-16 win over Syracuse. Likely need to manage the rest of the ACC schedule to guarantee a playoff spot.
Next: @ NC State
Ole Miss, 7-1
The Rebels backed up their good start to the season with a solid road win 34-26 over Oklahoma. You love to see it. They’ll close on a relatively light slate in a quest for an SEC title and playoff appearance.
Next: vs. South Carolina
Vanderbilt, 7-1
The Commodores picked up another ranked win in beating Missouri 17-10. This team is no joke and finds ways to win games by playing complementary football. Highly anticipated matchup in Austin on Saturday.
Next: @ #18 Texas
Miami, 6-1
Miami bounced back with a resounding 42-7 win over Stanford last week. With the way the ACC is shaping up, the ‘Canes will likely need to win out for a playoff spot. Easier said than done in a wild ACC this year.
Next: @ SMU
BYU, 7-0
BYU just keeps winning, this time in Ames for a 41-27 defeat of Iowa State to stay undefeated. They are definitely a potential bid stealer in the Big 12. Off this week before a showdown with Texas Tech.
