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.

Notes:

• Georgia jumps to the #1 spot (by a significant margin!) after defeating Tennessee, who only dropped one spot to #2.
• TCU holds on to the #3 spot... and the human polls are starting to get on board (#4 in both the AP and Coaches Polls. It will be interesting to see where the CFP Committee puts them on Tuesday).
• Notre Dame jumps up 9 spots to #15 after defeating #9 Clemson, who fell 7 spots.
• The SEC still dominates the top 10, owning four spots: #1 Georgia, #2 Tennessee, #6 LSU, and #10 Alabama.
• This point is still true: The top teams in the Big Ten (#4 Ohio State, #7 Michigan, and #16 Penn St) are suffering from the poor performances of the rest of the Big Ten: they just aren't getting much credit for defeating those teams, and therefore their rating isn't as high as other teams with similar records.
• Ohio State and Michigan have the 61st and 77th toughest Strength of Schedules (SoS) to date, respectively... by far the worst in the Top 10 (next lowest is TCU's SoS at 46th)
• This is also reflected in the conference rankings below.
