Overview

  • Ohio State holds the No. 1 spot entering Week 4 across multiple rankings, with PFF listing Miami at No. 2 and CBS power ratings showing Big Ten teams occupying the top three.
  • Miami’s 49-12 rout of USF, Texas A&M’s last-second 41-40 win at Notre Dame, and Georgia’s 44-41 overtime victory at Tennessee drove the week’s biggest moves.
  • Notre Dame fell to 0-2 after the A&M loss and Clemson took a second defeat at Georgia Tech, denting both preseason contenders’ early playoff positioning.
  • Under the College Football Playoff’s straight-seeding model, the top four seeds earn first-round byes, heightening the value of September resume wins.
  • Week 4 features potential swing games for the board, including Texas Tech at Utah, Illinois at Indiana, Auburn at Oklahoma, and Florida at Miami, with GameDay set for Coral Gables.
