Alabama
|
60.8
|
The Crimson Tide edge out Georgia 32-28 for the SEC championship. Alabama loses some points, as they were one incomplete pass away from losing, but maintains their #1 spot. Their invite to the National Championship is well deserved.

Oregon did not play this week, but the Ducks added a full point as their strength of schedule improves after Oregon State's walloping of Nicholls State.

Notre Dame
|
55.1
|
Notre Dame drops a spot after not playing this week. As I've said before, even though they're ranked #4, the Irish deserve to go to the National Championship as the only eligible undefeated team.
