NCAA Football Rankings - 16 Oct

Ohio State had a week off after taking over the top spot last week, and they were able to hold on to it for another week despite many of the teams right behind them playing well yesterday. Alabama moved back up to #3 despite losing at Tennessee, but the game was slightly closer than I projected, while Texas and TCU both slightly underperformed in their victories, causing each to slip a spot. The same thing happened with USC, who lost by a single point at Utah, while Michigan finally performed well against a real opponent, which moved the Wolverines into the top 10. Here are my full current rankings, with projected conference champs in bold, runners-up underlined, and playoff teams in red:
