NCAA Football Power Rankings, Week 8

Alabama retained their #1 ranking this week, in part because Georgia had a bye week. Penn State moved up to #3 from #7 with a big win over #31 Michigan. We're down to a mere 8 undefeated teams, but due to byes and hurricanes, 2 are 6-0, 1 is 8-0, and the rest are 7-0. If Miami or UCF make the playoffs with a shorter season, my system won't be kind to them, and just might give #1 to a team that doesn't win the title game.

Missouri finally won another game to move to 2-5, over Idaho, also 2-5. They rank just a smidge above Idaho now, 109 to 114.

At the bottom, UMass managed to pull themselves up out of last place with a win. The team they defeated, Georgia Southern, takes over the #130 position.
