Alabama is getting hot at just the right time, covering four of its last six games and after its win over Mississippi State the Crimson Tide stay atop the College Football Vegas Rankings. Some of the biggest movers towards the top this week include: Oklahoma, Notre Dame, North Carolina and Oregon. Three different teams fell out: Tennessee, Temple and Mississippi State.
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.
