Nick Shepkowski’s College Football Top 10 Rankings Following Week 8

How many teams have a realistic chance at a playoff spot?

We’ve entered the back half of the 2022 college football regular season which means we’re getting primed for the stretch run to deciding conference championships, bowl destinations, and College Football Playoff resumes.

Coming off a Week 7 that saw one of the most memorable days the great game of college football ever has, Week 8 was going to be a letdown by comparison.  It was, but still provided plenty of dramatics.

Oklahoma State handed Texas their third loss of the season on a windy day in Stillwater while in the ACC Clemson remained undefeated after they came back from down 11 to beat previously unbeaten.

Oregon boat-raced unbeaten UCLA in Eugene as they battled for Pac-12 positioning while LSU routed Ole Miss to end Lane Kiffin’s unbeaten start and TCU played comeback kid a second week in a row in their win over Kansas State.

So how do you rank the teams following those games?

Here’s what my Top 10 looks like following an eventful Week 8.
