2018 College Football Rankings - Week 9

Entering November, it is clear, once again, that the SEC has the class of the country this year. Three of our top four teams are once again from the SEC, with only Clemson breaking into that top four and Michigan, Notre Dame and UCF sitting barely on the outside. Four of the top ten teams in our rankings this week are actually from the SEC, with one-loss Kentucky also coming in at #10. One interesting addition to our top ten is Mountain West Conference leader Fresno State, which has climbed all the way up to #9 in the rankings. Meanwhile, previous top four team Ohio State continues to fall. Although the Buckeyes had a bye this week, the team they lost to in Week 8 (Purdue) lost this week and dropped out of the Top 25, dragging the Buckeyes further down to #20 in the rankings. Meanwhile, there are only four undefeated teams left in the country: #1 Alabama, #2 Clemson, #6 Notre Dame and #7 UCF. UCF still hasn't lost since their bowl game back in the 2016 season.
