Kirk Herbstreit Maintains Top-Five College Football Rankings After Week 10
College football analyst Kirk Herbstreit released his latest top-five rankings today, and for the second consecutive week, the list remained unchanged as all ranked teams secured victories.
Herbstreit revealed his rankings during Monday’s episode of ‘Nonstop’ with Joey Galloway, noting a clear distinction between his top three teams and those ranked fourth and fifth. Ohio State holds the No. 1 spot, followed by Indiana at No. 2, and Texas A&M rounding out the top three. “I think those top-three teams are very, very challenging to try to separate,” Herbstreit stated. Despite some questioning the strength of Ohio State’s schedule, Herbstreit believes the Buckeyes are consistently dominant, currently holding a 7-0 record.
Georgia Tech remains at No. 4 after moving into the top-five last week, while Alabama narrowly avoided an upset against South Carolina, maintaining its position at No. 5. The Crimson Tide scored 15 points in the final three minutes to secure a 29-22 victory. These rankings have significant implications as conference championship races heat up and the College Football Playoff picture begins to take shape. Indiana and Ohio State are on a potential collision course for the Big Ten Championship.
Herbstreit highlighted Texas A&M’s increasingly impressive performance as the season progresses, and expressed his continued confidence in Georgia Tech, despite upcoming challenges. He noted Indiana’s strong case for contention, with the Hoosiers currently undefeated at 8-0. For more information on college football standings, visit ESPN’s College Football Standings.
Herbstreit indicated he will continue to evaluate the teams as they progress through their schedules, with the next update expected following the upcoming week’s games.
