Last week, I made a pretty big deal out of the fact that the top five college football teams in the country, per SP+, were all within 1.8 points of each other. This week, they're within 1.3.
We've technically got a new No. 1 team -- Texas eases into the top spot after a lopsided win over ULM -- but congestion remains the story. SP+ is pretty confident that it knows who the five best teams in the country are, and it seems pretty clear on No. 6-11 too. There's interesting stratification among the top tiers, but at this point one thing is certain: It's Ohio State versus the SEC when it comes to the top of the college football hierarchy.
