NCAA Football Rankings - 17 Oct

Georgia maintained their tight grip on the #1 spot this week with another impressive win over Kentucky, who was previously undefeated as well. Auburn made a huge jump after upsetting Arkansas on the road, and Purdue did the same after beating up on Iowa, also on the road. My four playoff picks, which are highlighted in red below, have not changed this week, and you can also find my projected conference champs in bold and runners-up underlined:
