It’s week 5 so let’s re-examine college football and publish our weekly college football power rankings so you can see how all 130 FBS college football teams measure up this week.
We have a new #1 this week. They’ve been dominant so far this season
In addition, we give you our Heisman Trophy and College Football Playoff Rankings.
What's Inside
College Football Playoff Rankings – Week
If the College Football Playoff were to happen this week, this would be the Final Four:
- Alabama vs. 4. Ohio State
- Clemson vs. 3. LSU
No movement and without a major upset in week 5 it’s unlikely there will be next week.
Heisman Trophy Rankings – Week 5
I don’t have a Heisman ballot but if I did, my ballot this week would like like this:
- Joe Burrow (QB – LSU) – Another huge performance as he threw for 6 TD’s and nearly 400 yards.
- Jalen Hurts (QB – Oklahoma) – Had the week off but he’s put up big numbers already this season.
- Jonathan Taylor (RB – Wisconsin) – He led the way against the Wolverines. 203 yards in the dominant win against Michigan has him on the ballot.
