I felt like a broken record this offseason: Top 3 vs. the field, top 3 vs. the field, top 3 vs. the field. In my preseason SP+ projections, the top three teams - Alabama, Georgia and Ohio State - were so far ahead of the pack that there was the same distance between No. 3 Ohio State and No. 4 Oklahoma as there was between Oklahoma and No. 18 NC State.
One week into the 2022 season, that picture is still mostly the same, as Ohio State's rating rose a bit following a home win over Notre Dame.
