Power Rankings 10/7/25

Welcome Back!

As expected, the rankings are volatile, as only 3 teams remain in the same spot as last week, and just 13 moved 1 spot. In addition, we have a new #1, 3 new teams moving into the Top 10, and 7 new teams in the top 35. However, the largest mover only moved 34 (Penn State), as opposed to 3 teams moving 40+ last week. 

Here is how far the teams moved:

Less than 10 spots- 93 teams

10-19 spots- 34

20-29 spots- 8

30-39 spots- 1

Here is how many teams each conference has in the top 35:

SEC- 10

Big Ten- 8

Big 12- 7

ACC- 5

American- 3

SBC- 1

Ind- 1

If the Playoff started tomorrow, here is who would make it. Keep in mind the 5 highest ranked conference champions are automatically in, and I have to assume that the highest ranking team of each conference would be the champion. These would be the seedings:

1. Ohio St

2. Indiana

3. Texas Tech

4. Ole Miss

5. Oregon

6. Miami, Fl

7. Texas A&M

8. Missouri

9. Alabama

10. Oklahoma

11. Vandy

12. North Texas

What a weird lineup that would be! Remember, I am less interested in being correct now than I am in being correct at the end of the season, and I'm usually very close at the end of the season.

Anyway, here are my new rankings from 1 to 136:
