Pat Forde releases new college football top 10
Saturday wasn’t hyped as a major day on the 2022 college football schedule but it played out to be flat-out crazy as No. 1 Alabama nearly fell at Texas and the Sun Belt took over with Marshall upsetting No. 8 Notre Dame and Appalachian State going on the road and shocking No. 6 Texas A&M.
The night then closed with No. 9 Baylor falling in double-overtime at No. 21 BYU.
It wasn’t supposed to be a huge weekend for college football, but it certainly played out to be one we’ll look back on at season’s end as perhaps the craziest.
Pat Forde, the longtime college athletics scribe for ESPN, Yahoo, and Sports Illustrated put out his updated top-10 late Saturday night and you can read his entire piece here to find out the why with each team, but here is who he puts 10-1 through two weeks.
