Week 2 is in the books so it’s time to analyze all 130 FBS college football teams and publish our data driven week 3 college football power rankings.
In addition, we give you our Heisman Trophy and College Football Playoff Rankings.
College Football Playoff Rankings – Week 3
If the College Football Playoff were to happen this week, this would be the Final Four:
- Alabama vs. 4. LSU
- Clemson vs. 3. Ohio State
The SEC is again showing it’s dominance nationally. Georgia is right there in the mix too but if they face Alabama in the SEC Championship, it’s hard to see the committee setting up a rematch in the College Football Playoff.
Heisman Tropy Rankings – Week 3
I don’t have a Heisman ballot but if I did, my ballot this week would like like this:
- Joe Burrow (QB – LSU) – Massive performance in win at Texas Saturday night. Best performance I’ve seen this season.
- Justin Herbert (QB – Oregon) – 179.6 QB Rating. 6 touchdowns. The loss to Auburn hurt his Heisman chances but he’s playing great.
- Jonathan Taylor (RB – Wisconsin) – Averaging 6.8 yards per carry and 8 total touchdowns.
