As the season progresses we begin to really understand who is legit, who is not, & who the true contenders are. We still have 12 weeks of College Football left in the regular season, but even so, it feels as though we can start to gauge teams for what they are. After last week’s insanity, we had a much more stable weekend and had several key questions answered. This brings us to our Week Four College Football rankings.
Key matchups across the country, such as Texas A&M vs Miami, BYU vs Oregon, Oklahoma vs Nebraska, and others helped with several big questions. Was Miami legit? It seems as though the Aggies have answered that for us. Is the Venables lead Oklahoma able to handle the pressure? Lincoln, Nebraska found that one out the hard way. However, new questions have surfaced. Was BYU’s win against Baylor a fluke or is Georgia good enough to make even the top teams look silly?
