Pete Sheppard's College Football Power Rankings

Made easy work of Georgia State, but impressed by opening up the playbook and letting Joe Burrow toss the rock around the yard. Big test going into Austin this weekend taking on the Longhorns.

Heading into week 2 of the college football season, no need to look at the coaches poll, or the AP Top-25- these are the 10 best teams in college football right now. Shouldn't surprise anyone that the SEC has plenty of representation.
