Overall Rationale: And then there were eight. Oklahoma State and Oklahoma jump into the top group, and the CFP contenders are now down to the top octet! In the top four, Ohio State storms ahead of Cincinnati, while rival Michigan jumps into fourth ahead of The Game. Some adjustments to the rating system this week favour the Pac-12, which now has both Oregon and Utah in the top 15, and San Diego State, which reaches the rankings for the first time since Week 3.
