NCAA Football Rankings - 13 Oct

For the second week in a row, the #1 team in my rankings lost on the road, but this time was a little different, with Ohio State losing to a very good Oregon team in an extremely close game, which allowed the Buckeyes to maintain the top spot again this week. Notre Dame jumped all the way to #5 after a laugher over Stanford, and Oregon joined the top 10 after their upset win. Here are my full current rankings:
