NCAA Football Rankings - 3 Oct

It's now far enough into the season that we have a decent idea how good teams are, so I'm finally publishing my first college football rankings of the season. Georgia is starting out in the top spot after a very impressive win over Arkansas yesterday, shutting out the previously undefeated Razorbacks 37-0. The only team projected to finish the year undefeated is Cincinnati, who just passed their toughest test yesterday by beating Notre Dame on the road, and I currently have them in playoff position, though the Committee will most likely find any way possible to exclude them again. Here are my full current rankings, with projected conference champs in bold, runners-up underlined, and playoff teams in red:
