Week 9 Network Ranking

by Patrick Rhamey

Down falls Oklahoma - and by extension, Texas, Alabama, Ole Miss, etc. Georgia remains behind compared with the popular polls but makes a big leap into the top 10.

As one of the 8 undefeateds, JMU is in the top 4. Note, JMU has a better body of work than Washington, Air Force, Georgia, or Liberty. If they all win out, however, it is likely Georgia (with their much more challenging schedule going forward) and Washington will surpass JMU.
