The Massey computer composite
Every poll and rating smashed into one continually updating ranking, basically. Early in the season, it still includes some preseason projections.

- Ohio state
- TCU
- Miami
- USC
- Wisconsin
- UCF
- Michigan (Computers do weird stuff sometimes. Some systems still incorporate some preseason numbers. Others might just really like what Michigan did in most of its games this year. Either way, Michigan won’t be this high in the human polls.)

Georgia Overview
Georgia went to Nashville and took care of business, defeating Vanderbilt 45-14. The ground game was working as both Nick Chubb and Sony Michel went for over 100 yards.

Movers
Fell Out: #19 Louisville, #20 Florida, #23 Utah, #25 LSU
Newcomers: #21 Michigan State, #23 Stanford, #24 Texas Tech, #25 Navy
Overrated
#24 Texas Tech
I was very surprised to see Texas Tech ranked this week, and I don’t think their stay will last long as they take on West Virginia this weekend.
Underrated
#20 NC State
After taking out Florida State and Louisville, NC State now poses the greatest threat to Clemson running the table during the regular season.

Upset Alert
Last week, I took South Carolina over Arkansas and got back to my winning ways.
This week, with no Top 25 matchups, there are several potential hiccups. But I will take Georgia Tech knocking off undefeated Miami.
