It’s always fun to see how the rankings change after Rivalry Week!
1. Notre Dame- what is there to say? Undefeated and headed to Miami to play in the National Championship.
2. Alabama- suprised Saban didn’t run up the score further on Auburn. The Tide are headed to Atlanta with a spot in the National Championship on the line.

4. Florida- won the battle of the Sunshine State, manhandling Florida State.
5. Oregon- dominated a good Oregon State team in the Civil War. The offence is incredible.
6. Kansas State- didn’t play, need a win this week to clinch the Big 12 conference title.
7. LSU- let Arkansas hang around too long, but got the W in the end.
8. Texas A&M- Johnny Football continues to amaze, and seems to be the Heisman favorite right now.
9. Stanford- wins Pac-12 North with win over UCLA. A nice season after losing Andrew Luck.
10. South Carolina- lagged early but beat Clemson in a big rivalry game.
11. Nebraska- overcame the wind to beat Iowa and earn a Big Ten Championship berth against Wisconsin.
12. Oklahoma- got the win in a Bedlam game that lived up to its name. Could win the Big 12 if Kansas State loses.
13. Florida State- blew a 4th-quarter lead and blew it badly, earning just its second loss of the season.
14. UCLA- lost to Stanford, but will face them again next week in Pac-12 title game, with a chance to get their revenge.
15. Clemson- led at halftime but blew lead against Gamecocks
16. Oregon State- fell to Oregon to finish season 8-3
