Week 6 of the college football season is in the books. Indiana was idle on Saturday, but they still held on to their number 1 ranking. Miami jumps up into the #2 spot followed by Oklahoma, Texas A&M and Ohio State. Alabama climbed into my top 10 with their win over Vanderbilt.
Surprises
-
Some new names are now on the hot seat for coaching. James Franklin may not keep his job after Penn State’s shocking loss to UCLA.
-
I think the Bill Belichick experiment is all but over at UNC. I don’t think he makes it through the season.
