Week 6 Power Rankings: Upheaval in the top 10
The first Saturday of October brought the first major shakeup to the top 10, with LSU, Oklahoma, and Auburn all losing away from the cozy confines of their home stadiums.
A notable exception to that chaos was Notre Dame, which went on the road and beat ranked Virginia Tech. As a result, we've kept the Fighting Irish ahead of Clemson and Georgia in the Power Rankings.
Texas, Florida, Texas A&M, and Mississippi State also made their own big leaps in the poll after knocking off ranked conference opponents.
Just a sign of things to come, surely.
Here are the rankings after Week 6:
1. Alabama (6-0, 3-0 SEC)
Week 6 result: Defeated Arkansas 65-31
What's next: vs. Missouri (7 p.m. ET Saturday, ESPN)
