College Football Rankings 26-138: Week 10

There’s one key thing emerging as the season goes on. The difference between the Power Four programs and Group of Six teams is widening. No, there aren’t many non-conference games right now, but the Gof6 stars are struggling.

Boise State couldn’t stop Texas State until the very end, New Mexico struggled with San Jose State, and Power Four programs are dealing with game after game after game in tough conference play. That’s all reflected in our Week 10 rankings from 26 to 138.
