Week 5 is in the books so it’s time to analyze all 130 FBS college football teams and publish our data driven week 6 college football power rankings. In addition, we give you our Heisman Trophy and College Football Playoff Rankings.
Some movement in our College Football Playoff rankings and Heisman Trophy ballot this week.
College Football Playoff Rankings – Week 6
If the College Football Playoff were to happen this week, this would be the Final Four:
- Ohio State vs. 4. Oklahoma
- Alabama vs. 3. Clemson
Would those not be incredible match-ups? The Buckeyes have had the best schedule of these four and grab the #1 spot. As we get into conference play now in October, these rankings will move as Alabama has more big games ahead than any of the other CFB contenders.
Heisman Tropy Rankings – Week 6
I don’t have a Heisman ballot but if I did, my ballot this week would like like this:
- Jalen Hurts (QB – Oklahoma) – 12 TD’s, 1 interception and leads the country in QBR.
- Tua Tagovailoa (QB – Alabama) – Tossed 6 TD’s Saturday and is second in QB this season.
- Jonathan Taylor (RB – Wisconsin) – 8 TD’s and averaging 6.7 yards per carry. He had a huge game against Michigan that’s highlighted a dominant season on the ground.
