(Delta Calc'd from Week 10, 5 NOV 2018)

Some of these rankings my surprise you, but keep in mind that there is no bias towards any team or preconceived notions, and the only thing considered is what each team has accomplished so far.

(For those viewing from a phone, tap the rankings and rotate to enlarge)

Notes:

• Alabama's lead at the #1 spot increases after defeating #15 Miss St
• ND, Georgia, Clemson, and michigan round out the Top 5.
• Ohio State jumps 6 spots to #9 after defeating #18 Michigan St.
• UCF is at #12 despite being undefeated. This year, their opponents have not been as impressive as last year, which earns them less gains in the ratings after each win. They are ranked #11 in both the AP and Coaches polls.
• My ratings are (unfortunately) favoring SEC teams more than the human polls for the first time... ever. Usually, according to my rankings, the SEC teams are always overrated. The opposite is true this year. Compared to the human polls, I have Kentucky and Miss St 10 spots higher, and Florida 7 spots higher. Speaking of the SEC...
• SEC dominance. The SEC holds 5 of the top 10 spots... And 9 of the top 25. It looks like the SEC is actually earning their hype this year... So far, anyway... Also, take a look at my conference ratings below. The SEC has pulled away from the other conferences by a larger margin than I've seen since tracking the conferences.
• Top 10 // Top 25  Teams for each conference:
• ACC: 1 // 2 
• Big Ten: 2 // 5
• Big 12: 1 // 3
• Pac 12: 0 // 2
• SEC: 5 // 9
