Miami and Ohio St keep rolling, Ole Miss has their usual game where they forget how to play football vs WSU this week, and Indiana walks into Autzen and pretty much dominates Oregon. So that caused the shake up at the top this week. TAMU to Georgia is pretty standard, they all won their games so they stay put. Oregon stays in just ahead of Oklahoma after they both slip up this week, I still think Oregon is better than Oklahoma, hopefully Mateer can heal to 100% quickly. I only dropped Mizzou a couple spots, played Bama close for the whole game, no need to drop them behind many other 1 loss teams. Middle of the pack nothing really noteworthy so we’ll keep it moving. USC and USF both rocket up in the rankings, like I said last week, once you get past about 15, it gets pretty tough to rank these teams. Expect a ton of volatility in this range for the rest of the year. But, both teams absolutely dominate their competition this week, Michigan and North Texas were not easy teams to dominate. Texas falls back into their winning ways vs a hurt Mateer and Oklahoma. Utah dominates a hapless Arizona St team who didn’t have their QB, but even so, an impressive performance. Washington slots in at #22 ahead of teams that I still don’t really believe in; BYU, Cincy, and Nebraska. BYU is very much like last year, yeah they’re undefeated but they’re not a good undefeated. Cincy I just flat out think is better than Nebraska, even with the head to head loss. HUGE week this upcoming week, I’m expecting a lot of movement in the next NMP.

Heisman Race:

1 Ty Simpson, Alabama

2 Carson Beck, Miami

3 Trinidad Chambliss, Ole Miss

Midway through the year now, time to start giving a ranking to these dudes. Ty is the hottest QB in the nation right now, crazy high completion percentage, really good TD/INT ratio, and just overall playing on fire right now. Beck has also been playing pretty well, and has the performances against great teams to go along with it. Chambliss has been electric so far this season, took over for the injured Austin Simmons and never looked back, looking forward to seeing where he takes Ole Miss this year.
