NCAA Football Rankings - 7 Oct

Clemson finally came to life yesterday, destroying Wake Forest on the road 63-3, which vaulted the Tigers into familiar territory in the top 5 this week. Also joining the top 10 this week are Michigan and Notre Dame, both coming off victories that were expected to be difficult, while Miami plummeted after nearly losing at home to Florida State. Here are my full current rankings, with projected conference champs in bold and title game runners-up underlined:
