Three schools fall from the ranks of the unbeatens. Penn State fell to Ohio State, Iowa State fell to Texas Tech and Pitt fell to SMU.

We are down to 5 undefeated FBS schools left after Week 10:

• Army #41
• BYU #4
• Indiana #3
• Miami #5
• Oregon #1

Who’s going to make the playoffs? I’m starting to see the big picture. I think both the Big 10 and SEC will get 4 teams each in the playoff. The ACC will have 1 team. The Big 12 will have 1 team. There will be 1 team from the Group of 5. And Notre Dame will probably be the other team in.

Two more schools fell from the ranks of the unbeaten in FBS. Liberty fell to Kennesaw State, their first win over an FBS school in their history. And Navy got introduced to a quality opponent and got smoked by Notre Dame.

We are down to 8 undefeated FBS schools left after Week 9:

• Army #41
• BYU #4
• Indiana #5
• Iowa St #6
• Miami #7
• Oregon #1
• Penn St #3
• Pittsburgh #16

Who will be the next to fall from the ranks of the undefeated?

Kansas City maintains its #1 ranking in my weekly power ratings. Followed by Minnesota, Detroit, Baltimore and Green Bay.

Down goes Texas. They finally played a really good team and they came up short against Georgia. The rankings get shuffled a lot this week. Oregon is my new number #1 team followed by Ohio State, Indiana, BYU and Penn State. Wait. Did I say Indiana? Yep, last year’s JMU team who now call themselves Indiana walloped Nebraska 56-7 over the weekend.

With Texas’s loss to Georgia, we are down to 10 undefeated FBS schools left after Week 8:

I have updated my Power Ratings and Adjusted Scoring with the Week 5 results. Kansas City and Minnesota had the week off and still are the top 2 teams.

If you told me in August that these schools would be in my top 25 rankings after week 7, I’d say you were crazy. But BYU is #4. Boise State is #8. Indiana is #9. SMU is #15. Pitt is #16. Washington State is #19. Navy is #23. And Army is #25.

Texas holds firm at #1. With Oregon’s 32-31 win over Ohio State last night, they jump to #2 in my rankings and Ohio State comes in at #3.

I have updated my Power Ratings and Adjusted Scoring with the Week 5 results. Kansas City and Minnesota are the top two teams now.

Wow! What a day of upsets! Alabama and Tennesse went on the road and got beat. Miami overcame a 25 point deficit to squeak out a win against Cal. Army and Navy are both 5-0 for the first time since 1945. Preseason Top 25 schools Kansas and NC State might be the worst teams in their conferences.

12 undefeated teams left:
