NCAA Football Rankings - 8 Oct

The top two teams in my rankings faced off yesterday in a close, well-fought rivalry game, but neither ended up at #1 after the game. That honor goes to Michigan, who destroyed a good Minnesota team on the road to leapfrog both, barely edging out the Sooners. Georgia finally looked like the team we remember from the past two years, and they have now moved up to #17, while Miami took a big tumble out of the top 10 after their embarrassing last-second home loss to Georgia Tech. Here are my full current rankings, with projected conference champs in bold, runners-up underlined, and playoff teams in red:
