- Indiana improved to 9-0 after a 55-10 rout of Maryland and is widely projected to land in the top two of the initial College Football Playoff rankings.
- Only four unbeatens remain in major college football after Week 10: Ohio State, Indiana, BYU and Texas A&M.
- Miami’s 26-20 overtime loss at SMU and Georgia Tech’s defeat at NC State dented the ACC’s chances of placing multiple CFP teams, reflected in drops in the Coaches Poll.
- Texas re-entered the playoff conversation with a 34-31 win over Vanderbilt as Arch Manning returned to throw for 328 yards and three touchdowns, prompting updated bracket projections that keep Ohio State as the projected No. 1.
