College Football Rankings 2017: Projected Top 25 after Week 4
No. 20: San Diego State Aztecs (4-0)
Ranking coming into Week 4: No. 22
The Aztecs got a big scare from the Air Force Academy, but they remained unbeaten with a 28-24 win on the road to stay undefeated. Looking for a sleeper Heisman contender? Look no further than SDSU running back Rashaad Penny.
No. 19: South Florida Bulls (4-0)
Ranking coming into Week 4: No. 21
There’s still some serious questions about Quinton Flowers and South Florida, but Charlie Strong’s bunch is 4-0. That’s all that matters right now. For the Bulls to crash the big boy party at season’s end, they’ve got to clean up a ton of things moving forward this year.
No. 18: Florida Gators (2-1)
Ranking coming into Week 4: No. 20
Geez, Gators. You won’t let Kentucky beat you just one time in (now) 31 years? Ruthless. Florida stole one from a game Kentucky side in Lexington on Saturday night to keep “The Streak” alive. There’s always basketball season, ‘Cats.
No. 17: Louisville Cardinals (3-1)
Ranking coming into Week 4: No. 19
Lamar Jackson and the Cardinals bounced back at home against Kent State after getting embarrassed on their home field last Saturday night by Clemson. They’re going to need some help in the ACC race after the loss, but with Jackson, they’re going to be in every game.
No. 16: Washington State Cougars (4-0)
Ranking coming into Week 4: No. 18
Mike Leach kept Luke Falk at quarterback against Nevada on Saturday and the QB threw for 478 yards and five touchdowns, as the Cougars won by 38. There was obviously much less chaos than the Boise State game a few weeks ago.
