Here are The Post’s college football rankings following Week 10:
1. Oregon (9-0) (Last week: 1)
While other contenders struggle or stub their toes against inferior competition, Oregon keeps rolling along. Saturday’s rout at Michigan makes it three consecutive blowout wins for the Ducks since the victory over Ohio State.
2. Georgia (7-1) (2)
Carson Beck made enough plays late to help Georgia avoid what would’ve been a disastrous loss to Florida. But the Bulldogs aren’t going to win the SEC or do much in the expanded playoff if his interception problems — that’s now six in the last two games and 11 on the season — continue.
3. Ohio State (7-1) (5)
The defense was terrific, holding Penn State without an offensive touchdown. The injury-riddled offensive line was better than expected, producing 179 yards on the ground. Ohio State found a way after falling behind by 10 points early.
4. Texas (7-1) (3)
Texas has arrived at the get-right portion of its schedule: Florida, Arkansas and Kentucky the next three weeks. After a few shaky performances before a bye week, it’s time for the Longhorns to get it going.
5. Tennessee (6-1) (6)
Challenging trips to Georgia and Vanderbilt remain for the Volunteers. They need at least one win in those contests, if not two, to feel good about their playoff chances.
6. Miami (9-0) (8)
For the third time in ACC play, Miami rallied from a second-half deficit to remain undefeated, outscoring Duke 36-3 after trailing by 11 at one point. The program’s first double-digit-win season since 2017 is a formality now.
7. Penn State (7-1) (4)
Penn State has dropped eight straight games to Ohio State, and four of those have come by single figures. Coach James Franklin heard calls for his job from angry Nittany Lions fans after the latest setback to the Buckeyes.
8. Notre Dame (7-1) (10)
The Irish’s résumé includes top-25 wins over No. 15 Texas A&M and No. 25 Louisville. Adding another, over No. 18 Army on Nov. 23 at Yankee Stadium, without any more losses is probably enough for Notre Dame to reach the playoff.
9. Indiana (9-0) (NR)
Believe it or not, skidding Michigan is a trap game for the undefeated Hoosiers on Saturday. A trip to Ohio State, with a berth in the Big Ten championship game likely on the line, follows. College football can be funny sometimes.
10. BYU (8-0) (NR)
One of the most surprising stories in college football. A year after winning five games, BYU was picked to finish 13th in the Big 12. It sits alone atop the league the first week of November, with a soft closing schedule on tap.
Dropped out: Texas A&M (7-2) and Clemson (6-2)
Heisman Watch (in order of predicted finish)
QB Cam Ward, Miami
If this were a Most Valuable Player award, Ward would win it going away. Nobody has been more valuable to his team.
RB Ashton Jeanty, Boise State
That’s now 10 consecutive regular-season games with at least 100 rushing yards for the junior superstar. He’s scored 24 touchdowns in those contests.
WR/CB Travis Hunter, Colorado
Four regular-season games remain for Hunter, and three of them are against teams in the bottom of the Big 12. Chances to stockpile big numbers.
QB Dillon Gabriel, Oregon
Three straight games under 300 yards with two interceptions mixed in has slowed Gabriel’s momentum. Blowout victories don’t help in this race, because they tend to equate to less impressive stats.
QB Kurtis Rourke, Indiana
Rourke missed only one game due to a thumb injury, and looked just fine in his return, throwing four touchdown passes in a 42-10 blistering of Michigan State.
