Great games filled this fall weekend, and the rankings, as usual, received a makeover as a result.

If we learned anything from this week, it is this: Any team in college football is beatable, especially this season.

With a win against Utah, California could have made a solid case for being the best team in the Pac-12. Too bad that one didn't happen.

If the Ole Miss Rebels plan on making the playoff, they can do one simple thing — win out. If they do that one simple thing, they will make the playoff. No questions asked.
12. Michigan Wolverines

The Wolverines will play the Michigan State Spartans next, and the odds of them winning that game are looking pretty solid.

9. Texas A&M Aggies
The Texas A&M Aggies are undefeated and ranked in the top 25. Things will get that much better for them if they can knock off the Alabama Crimson Tide next week.

Alabama, like every other one-loss team, has to win out to make the playoff. And the Crimson Tide have undefeated Texas A&M next. And this is why I love college football.

TCU does not crack under pressure. Neither does that Trevone Boykin guy.

The Ohio State Buckeyes are a very fun team to watch on the offensive side of the ball when these four players are rolling: Cardale Jones, Ezekiel Elliott, Braxton Miller and J.T. Barrett.
