NCAA Football Rankings: November 19, 2017

Here are this week’s composite rankings. I have Alabama at #1 and Wisconsin at #2. Georgia and Notre Dame tumble to #8 and #9, respectively. Various rankings that I aggregate have UCF in vastly different places. I have UCF at #6 in my aggregate rankings below, but I think that is high. I do not believe UCF will be one of the top four ranked teams at the end of the season.

I post my full rankings on the NCAAF rankings tab every week.
