NCAA Football Rankings - 15 Nov

 Ohio State has spent a good portion of this season in the top spot in my rankings, but we are getting deep enough into the season that it's become impossible to ignore the weakness of the schedule they have played so far. The three teams they have defeated so far have a combined record of 2-9, and a big part of the reason they were ranked so high to begin with was their great performance last season, which has less influence over the rankings with each passing week. The same goes for undefeated Indiana, whose opponents have combined to go 3-13 so far, which caused the Hoosiers to take a big tumble this week. Alabama took back the #1 spot, with BYU and Cincinnati behind them representing the non-Power 5 teams. Here are my full current rankings, updated to include the Cal-UCLA game that was added to the Sunday schedule:
