The Fighting Irish are back in the top 10 after their thumping of USC, while the team at the top remains the same.
We know who the top three teams in college football probably are. Michigan, Ohio State and Georgia were projected in the top three to start the season, and none has ranked worse than fourth at any point in the first seven weeks of 2023. But they aren't really pulling away from the pack.
Below are this week's SP+ rankings. What is SP+? In a single sentence, it's a tempo- and opponent-adjusted measure of college football efficiency. I created the system at Football Outsiders in 2008, and as my experience with both college football and its stats has grown, I have made quite a few tweaks to the system.
Notre Dame's resounding win over USC bumped the two-loss Fighting Irish back into the top 10, and Penn State's destruction of poor UMass brought the Nittany Lions to within 3.2 points of next week's opponent, Ohio State. UMass: down 5.0 adjusted points per game Texas Tech: down 3.1 points USC: down 3.0 points New Mexico: down 2.6 points
Here's a fun nugget, by the way: There aren't many divisions left anymore, but the top four averages belong to the Big Ten East , SEC West , SEC East and Big Ten West . The Big Ten West is closer to the Sun Belt East than the Big Ten East. But it will still get to send a representative -- probably Iowa at this point -- to Indianapolis to play for the Big Ten title in early December.
