Nine weeks of 2022 college football in the books with a 10th on the way in a matter of days. Now that College Football Playoff rankings are out and conference championship races are whittling down, the best teams are making themselves clear, particularly at the top. Just a matter of the order.

So check out which of the superpowers earned the top spot on the CBS Sports rankings as well as the entire top 25 after another loaded weekend of games. Take a look at the CBS Sports top-25 right here:

CBS Sports Week 10 Top 25

  1. Ohio State
  2. Tennessee
  3. Georgia
  4. TCU
  5. Michigan
  6. Clemson
  7. Alabama
  8. Oregon
  9. Kansas State
  10. USC
  11. UCLA
  12. Utah
  13. LSU
  14. Ole Miss
  15. Illinois
  16. North Carolina
  17. Oklahoma State
  18. Tulane
  19. Penn State
  20. UCF
  21. NC State
  22. Oregon State
  23. Maryland
  24. Wake Forest
  25. Liberty

After Tennessee nabbed the top spot in the CFP rankings, Ohio State takes the cake for CBS, with fellow remaining undefeated’s Georgia, TCU, Michigan and Clemson filing in behind them. With roughly 4-5 games plus conference titles left, six teams is a lot to be undefeated thru this point in the year. And from four different conferences, too.

So the first six are obvious contenders for Playoff spots. But so are the schools rounding out the top-10. Alabama still has just one loss, though their return to the SEC title is far from a guarantee given the Tide need to play LSU and Ole Miss still, who both could overtake ‘Bama in the standings by beating them and winning out.

After Bama, there’s three Pac-12 powers that all have one loss and each could seemingly win the conference championship by winning out. A one-loss Pac-12 champ would be a hard CFP resume to turn down. So long as Oregon, USC and Utah don’t all cannibalize each other, the west coast should finally have some Playoff representation again.

College football feels very wide open. Every power conference seems to be up for grabs, without any one team posing as the overwhelming favorite in any league — besides maybe Clemson, but they have their fair share of doubters. Should make for a thrilling final third of the regular season.
