NCAA Football Rankings - 14 Oct

The Crimson Tide is still rolling along, and at this point they are a full touchdown better than any other team in the country on a neutral field, and would be a favorite in any road game played. Meanwhile, LSU made a strong move into the top 10 with their demolition of Georgia, and Iowa appeared in the top 25 at #15 after beating up on Indiana in Bloomington. Here are my full current rankings, with projected conference champs in bold and title game losers underlined:
