Where does ESPN’s updated college football power rankings have Ohio State, other top teams?
After every college football Saturday, everyone has an opinion on which teams are playing the best and which should be included in the four-team field of the College Football Playoff.
One of the pieces we follow on a weekly basis is ESPN’s power rankings that come out after all the games. It just so happens the “worldwide leader” has updated them again after Week 11, in which Oregon and UCLA fell victim to the upset bug.
Georgia, Michigan, Ohio State and Tennesee looked impressive. TCU earned a massive win over Texas, keeping all five teams on pace with each other.
Here are the latest ESPN college football power rankings and where Ohio State and the entire top 25 reside after a Week 11 that saw more reshuffling.
