It’s fairly clear at this point that Alabama and Clemson are far and away the top two teams in the country, at least among those currently playing.
Beyond that, though, there’s a lot of uncertainty. In Sports Illustrated’s latest rankings, Georgia remained at No. 3 despite a 41-24 loss to the Crimson Tide on Saturday. Behind them are No. 4 BYU, who is undefeated, No. 5 Notre Dame, who escaped a 1-3 Louisville team 12-7, and No. 6 Texas A&M, who beat Mississippi State comfortably.
The Gators are ranked No. 7 despite not playing on Saturday. Their previously scheduled game against LSU was moved to Dec. 12 after an outbreak of COVID-19 on the team. Here’s what SI said about them.
7. Florida (2–1)
Last game: Lost to Texas A&M on Oct. 10
Next game: Missouri Oct. 31The only place where the Gators didn’t suffer any embarrassment this week was on the field, since their game was postponed due to a COVID-19 outbreak. That followed coach Dan Mullen’s absurd stance that he wanted to “Pack The Swamp” with 90,000 fans after the loss last Saturday to Texas A&M. The week ended with Mullen publicly acknowledging that he, too, has the virus. Florida is such a mess from a numbers standpoint that its scheduled game for next week already has been pushed back to Halloween.
No. 8 Cincinnati, No. 9 Oklahoma State and No. 10 Marshall — all of whom are currently undefeated — round out a bizarre top 10.
