*Top 25 matchups are italicized

#1-Alabama Crimson Tide (7-0)

The Crimson Tide cruised to an easy 41-9 victory over Arkansas on Saturday, scoring early and often and they should do the same this week. They have some big games coming up, as they will be tested by the number 21 and 24 teams in the country, Auburn and LSU in the coming weeks. Next up: Tennessee (W)

#2-Penn State Nittany Lions (6-0)

Penn State had a well-placed bye week, as they prepare for one of the toughest three game stretches any team in the country must face, with matchups against #19 Michigan, followed by #6 Ohio State, and then a battle against #18 Michigan State. Next up: Michigan (W)

#3-Georgia Bulldogs (7-0)

After a slow start, Georgia looked great on both sides of the ball versus Missouri. I think that they may be team to beat in the SEC. If they can get to the SEC championship game, they have a great chance to dethrone Alabama at the top of that conference. Next up: Bye Week

#4-TCU Horned Frogs (6-0)

Led by Texas A&M transfer QB Kenny Hill, the Horned Frogs offense looks dangerous. After Oklahoma’s slip up versus  Iowa State. They should take of Kansas pretty easily this week and I expect them to continue to run through the Big 12 because of that electric offense. Next up: Kansas (W)

#5-Ohio State Buckeyes (6-1)

The Buckeyes seem to have everything figured out offensively and defensively, with J.T. Barrett leading the offense and defensive ends Chase Young and Nick Bosa leading the defense. I expect them to beat Penn State in two weeks and climb back up into the top 4. Next up: Bye Week
