2016 College Football Rankings - Week 10

Pretty much everyone has Alabama and Michigan at the top of their rankings, and rightfully so. Most people also agree that if Clemson wins out, they will most likely be in the playoff as well. But who is the fourth team? The "committee" had Texas A&M in that slot last week - big mistake. (We had them at #9, now #17 after losing to Mississippi State.) This week, it's probably Washington, but they don't have us convinced yet. We actually feel that Louisville has shown us more this season so far. More, in fact, than even Clemson, even though they lost to Clemson (at Clemson in a very close game). Here are our rankings after 10 weeks of the college football season:

1. Alabama Crimson Tide (9-0) - 1.0
