NCAA Football Rankings - 17 Nov

After Ohio State lost the top spot last week because of a strength of schedule hit, the same thing happened to Alabama this week, after they knocked off their annual late-season cupcake easily. The Buckeyes are back on top, with conference rival Penn State jumping back into the top 10 after a road blowout of Purdue, while South Carolina dropped out of the top 10 after narrowly winning against Missouri. Colorado took over as the favorite to win the Big 12, while Oregon remains the only team projected to finish undefeated. Here are my full current rankings:
