Here’s how the college football Power Fives grades out heading into week 11.
After nearly a two-year reign atop the college football conference power rankings, the Big Ten finally fell with a pair of significant losses in week 10.
Fresh off a huge victory over Penn State, the Ohio State Buckeyes were stunned in a 55-24 beatdown at Iowa. The Nittany Lions didn’t fare that much better themselves in a 27-24 loss at Michigan State, effectively ending any chance for the Big Ten East to reach the playoff.
With Alabama and Georgia both continuing to roll on Saturday, the SEC is in better shape than ever to get a pair of teams into the final four. Oklahoma also picked up a huge 62-52 road win at Oklahoma State in one of the craziest editions of Bedlam ever, while Clemson held serve with a nice road win at NC State.
Saturday’s most impressive team might have been Miami, which caught the nation’s attention with a 28-10 win over Virginia Tech. Wisconsin crushed Indiana to also remain perfect as the Big Ten’s last hope, setting up what should be a wild finish to the season over the next few weeks.
Those significant games not only altered the playoff picture but led to some major changes in the college football conference power rankings. Here’s how the Power Five stacks up heading into week 11.
