Submitted: Oct. 2, 2023, 1:59 a.m.

Overall Rationale: What a week in CFB this turned out to be. While things looked similar in the top 10, USC dropped one spot due to the close game against Colorado and almost blew the lead. Oregon State climbed into my Top 15 and Utah dropped. Norte Dame climbed into my Top 10 while Duke dropped hard. Kentucky by virtue of beating Florida, is on my rankings this week and is #20. Louisville round out my top 25 in the first time seeing both teams this season. Tons of season left to be played and we’ll see more movers and shakers as the season wears on.
