Oklahoma, Baylor move up in USA TODAY Sports updated 1-131 re-rank
Ahead of their week 10 clash in Athens, the Georgia Bulldogs and the Tennessee Volunteers occupied the top two spots in Paul Myerberg’s 1-131 re-rank for USA TODAY Sports.
The only other movement inside the top eight was Tennessee flipping spots with Ohio State. Tennessee dominated Kentucky, while the Buckeyes struggled for the first few quarters against Penn State before an offensive explosion in the fourth helped them secure the win. Michigan remained at No. 3 after their close win over Michigan State.
The top four will be sorted out when Ohio State and Michigan play later this season, and Georgia and Tennessee battle for SEC supremacy this week.
In the Big 12, TCU stayed steady at No. 5 in the re-rank, but there was a lot of movement elsewhere. Let’s take a look at how the teams stack up.
