Projected college football rankings after Oklahoma upset in Bedlam, Georgia wins
No one is safe in the Top 25 college football rankings in Week 10. The Oklahoma Sooners found that out the hard way in the final Bedlam rivalry matchup with Oklahoma State for some time, and the Georgia Bulldogs had to fight tooth and nail to avoid a similar fate against No. 12 Missouri.
Oklahoma was on the road against their rivals in Stillwater coming off of the upset loss to Kansas and some of the similar problems persisted. The defense delivered a bit of a letdown against Ollie Gordon III and, surprisingly, Oklahoma State QB Alan Bowman. Dillon Gabriel, meanwhile, was far from careful with the ball, gifting the Cowboys plenty of opportunities, which they took enough advantage of to pick up the upset win.
Georgia found itself in a dogfight between the hedges on Saturday as Missouri was matching them step-for-step in the first half, going into the locker room tied 10-10. The Dawgs allowed a field goal on the Tigers' opening drive, but pulled away to get the 30-21 victory, by far their biggest of the season to date.
With these big-time games in addition to Ohio State and Texas struggling, Notre Dame losing and more, let's take a midday look at our projections for the Top 25 college football rankings from the College Football Playoff Selection Committee.

With Oklahoma State's surge and now a win over Oklahoma, they leapfrog the sooners by one spot with a head-to-head victory and identical records (though their losses do look much worse).
More importantly, though, the projections have Georgia and Michigan moving ahead of Ohio State atop the Top 25 rankings. This Buckeyes team has two resumé wins to its credit, but has been wholly unimpressive to the eyes. That was again the case against Rutgers in Week 10. With Georgia passing a major test and getting a resumé win of its own, they take it -- and Michigan has just been more dominant.
