NCAA Football Rankings - 3 Nov

The majority of the top 10 had a bye this week, which gave those who played a chance to make a move. Clemson, while they won decisively, did it against an FCS opponent, further weakening their strength of schedule number, which is now the worst of any top 25 team, and the reason they dropped 3 spots despite remaining undefeated. Due to their status as the probable champion of a Power 5 Conference, however, they still remain projected to make the playoff, even though it is by far the weakest of the Power 5, and possibly weaker than the American conference. Here are my full current rankings, with projected conference champs in bold, runners-up underlined, and playoff teams in red:
