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:

• Georgia remains at #1 after beating #91 Georgia Tech. Even though the field caught up a bit, Georgia still has a healthy lead atop the rankings.
• ND falls from #2 to #5 after defeating #89 Stanford (which is probably why Brian Kelly left ND). New learning about ND's previous opponents updated Notre Dame's rating in a negative direction.
• Alabama claims the #2 spot after defeating #30 Auburn in overtime.
• michigan moves up to #3 (up for spots) after their win (michigan still sucks, by the way).
• Oklahoma State climbs to #4 after defeating #11 Oklahoma
• Ohio State falls to #6.
• Cincinnati falls two spots to #7, after defeating #66 East Carolina. )Same reason as Notre Dame above). They play #27 Houston in the AAC Championship game. If they win, it will be their second best win of the season... which is why Cincinnati will not pull ahead of the other teams without help (in my unbiased rankings, that is).
