CFB Charts Top 25
The latest is the Top 25 for Week 10, 2026. Read the full Top 25 for Week 10: every team's last game, best players, national ranks and charts.
Miami is No. 1 after a 38–35 escape at North Carolina, and Notre Dame is No. 2. They play each other Saturday night in South Bend, and the numbers pick Notre Dame, 60%. This is the first week built on the new formula: SP+ and EPA for how good a team is, record and strength of record for what it's done, vibes for how it's playing now, and a hit for a missing starting quarterback.
Ohio State fell from 1st to 15th. It lost 30–18 at USC in its first game without Julian Sayin, and that quarterback injury counts against it here until it wins without him. SP+ still rates the Buckeyes 2nd.
The AP and the numbers split hardest on LSU (4th here, 15th there) and BYU (16th here, 7th there). Iowa, Oregon and South Carolina are new, and Nebraska, Florida and Wisconsin are out. Eight games this week match two teams from this list, including Alabama at LSU, Georgia at Ole Miss and Oregon at Ohio State.
