After Alabama's 16-point win over LSU, the Crimson Tide move up to the top spot in the College Football Vegas Rankings. For the first time in weeks, we have a clear "top three" in the rankings with Clemson ranked No. 2 and Ohio State at No. 3. Alabama, Clemson and Ohio State are a combined 12-13-2 ATS this season.
The CFB Vegas Rankings are the composite power ratings of a panel of professional handicappers and college football statisticians, including fellow Insider Phil Steele, Brian Edwards and Bruce Marshall of The Gold Sheet. The ratings are intended to weight the relative strength of the teams if they met on a neutral field and to be compared to the point spread on a given game.
