1. Texas (4-0) (Last week:1)
Last year’s Red River Rivalry was one-sided, an easy Texas victory. Expect more of the same Saturday. Two-loss Oklahoma is going to finish near the bottom of the SEC.
2. Ohio State (4-1) (2)
This visit to Iowa felt tricky. It wasn’t nearly as competitive as expected: Ohio State outgained the improved Hawkeyes 484-238 for its third dominant win since the crushing loss at Texas. An Oct. 17 trip to Indiana looms.
3. Notre Dame (5-0) (3)
No style points this week for the Irish. They let ACC also-ran North Carolina hang around for three quarters before finally creating separation in a closer-than-expected 37-26 win.
4. Georgia (5-0) (4)
Georgia and Alabama. A combined 10-0 record. Neither team has played a competitive game yet. Enough said. Bryant-Denny Stadium is the place to be Saturday.
