All three teams have something that separates them from the other seven undefeated teams.

Michigan State who is ranked No. 1 in the latest Big Ten Power Rankings, is one of the very few FBS teams to have four true road victories over four power five teams. Oklahoma State has beaten Boise State and Texas on the road as well as giving Baylor its only loss of the season.

Georgia was ranked No. 1 in the first power rankings when there were 26 undefeated teams and deservedly so because they arguably have the best defense in the country. The Bulldogs have dominated good competition like Kentucky who is ranked by 17 and Auburn on the road who is also ranked by 24.

Time will once again tell week by week which teams are undefeated but these 10 teams in the power rankings deserve respect for what they have done this season.
