The path to the College Football playoff starts here with out post-Week 6 college football power rankings. 

We were yet again blessed with another fantastic Saturday. Tennessee and Texas A&M gave us a two overtime nail-bitter in College Station, where the fans gave Lee Corso a hell of a moment on College GameDay. As many know, Corso has given us numerous Saturday mornings full of excitement as we try and predict what head gear he will put on. On Saturday, the fans chanted his name and he started to bust out in tears after a video played celebrating his 20 years of headgear selection.

It was cool to see, and if you haven’t seen it yet watch it here before you read ahead. Now here are the Top 10 teams in college football.

The Wisconsin Badgers were resting on Saturday as they had an early bye week this season.

The Badgers have been steady all season. They have wins against teams like LSU (16-14), and Michigan State (30-6), but suffered their first loss of the season in their last outing against Michigan.

Their two big wins on the season, the wins I mentioned above, have slowly lost their impact as the season has carried on. Both LSU and Michigan State aren’t as good as we thought they would be.

LSU is 3-2, and has fired both its head coach and offensive coordinator early in the season. Michigan State has lost it after their 36-28 win at Notre Dame, a team who has also not been what we expected. They have lost three straight, losing to Wisconsin, Indiana and BYU.

However, Wisconsin is still legit, and they have the chance to prove that this weekend when the Buckeyes come to town.

Now many will overlook this game, but pay attention, because the Badgers could make Saturday interesting. Wisconsin went on the road to Michigan and put up a good fight (losing 14-7), and could play well at home against a young Ohio State team.

I know Ohio State has already played in a hostile environment in Oklahoma, but I think the Badgers will be better prepared coming off their bye week. With that being said, it’s hard to bet against Urban Meyer and Ohio State.

Next Matchup: Ohio State
