NCAA Football Rankings - 3 Nov

Ohio State pulled off the road upset of Penn State yesterday to keep their spot as the #1 team in my rankings. Indiana moved into the top 5 after a blowout of Michigan State on the road, and Ole Miss did the same win a huge win at Arkansas. South Carolina upset Texas A&M, the SEC leader, which vaulted the Gamecocks into the top 10, just ahead of Boise State, who slipped a notch despite having only 1 loss, to undefeated Oregon. Here are my full current rankings:
