NCAA Football Rankings - 10 Nov

Ohio State was dominant again, but a win over Purdue weakened their strength of schedule enough that they weren't able to remain in the top spot, relinquishing it to Alabama, who destroyed LSU on the road yesterday. Texas beat up on Florida, which put in the Longhorns into the top 5, and South Carolina's second straight upset put them at #6, and gave the SEC 4 of the top 6 teams. Here are my full current rankings:
