NCAA Football Rankings - 29 Nov

There is a new small school making a splash and joining the top 10 this week, with Buffalo jumping to #6 after defeating Kent State, who had also been unbeaten, by a score of 70-41 yesterday, behind 409 rushing yards and 8 touchdowns from Jaret Patterson. Also in the top 10 is Coastal Carolina, who moved to 9-0 after beating Texas State, plus Ohio State, which returns to its correct spot after a data error was corrected from last week. Here are my full current rankings:
