College Football Rankings - 17 Sep

Both Oklahoma State and Mississippi State were completely dominant yesterday, the Cowboys winning 59-21 at Pittsburgh while the Bulldogs destroyed LSU 37-7, so both teams made big leaps in this week's rankings, placing them as the bread in an Alabama sandwich at the top. Alabama's underwhelming win over Colorado State allowed them to be passed for the time being, but it was by a percentage point, and it would be no surprise to see the Tide back on top next week. Here are my full current rankings, with projected conference champs in bold:
