NCAA Football Power Rankings, Week 9

We have our first repeat #1, with Mississippi taking back the top spot they lost in their bye week, due in part to Week 8 #1 Florida State's bye week. Ole Miss maintained the #2 spot, by losing to a very strong team, the now-#6 LSU Tigers.

Conference Play is not going to be kind to Marshall. They went from #4 to #8 this week despite a win, because their opponent was now-#100 Florida Atlantic. Their 4 remaining opponents are ranked #80-#97, and the current likely conference championship opponent is ranked #49. Those games aren't going to get them a lot of credibility, but it'd be an interesting decision the committee would have to make to start the College Football Playoff Era.

Missouri's win over Vanderbilt only bumped them up one spot to #19. It's going to take some wins and some help for me to consider them a playoff contender.

At the bottom, SMU lost again and maintains a hold on #127.
