Georgia is ranked ahead of Alabama because the Bulldogs have been so dominant after their close win against Clemson. The Crimson Tide are a close second as they have proven to be a national title-contending team with their road win at Florida for example.

Oregon has a very nice road victory at Ohio State which is very impressive and Iowa and their defense could lead them to a Big Ten title and a berth into the college football playoffs. Penn State and Arkansas have impressed with both schools having two quality wins each, meaning they control their own destiny.
