ESPN college football analyst Kirk Herbstreit updated his top-six rankings following a crazy Week 10. (Rankings below).
Saturday included Georgia’s victory over Tennessee, LSU’s 32-31 overtime win against Alabama, and Notre Dame’s absolute beat down of the Clemson Tigers.
In Herbstreit’s top-six, I don’t expect anyone to have any questions about teams 1-3. But it’s at No. 4 that people will have questions. Herbstreit has Oregon sitting in the fourth spot, meaning if the College Football Playoff were to start today the 8-1 Ducks would make the tournament. Oregon’s only loss this season was a 49-3 defeat to Georgia in the season opener.
If we’re ranking one-loss teams, is Oregon better than Tennessee? I doubt it. Both have one loss: to Georgia.
