Kirk Herbstreit reveals his top performing teams of Week 6

Following another exciting week of college football, ESPN College GameDay host Kirk Herbstreit has revealed eight teams that impressed him the most over the weekend.

The Texas Longhorns occupy Herbstreit’s No. 1 performing team for Week 6 following the 49-0 rout of rival Oklahoma in the Red River Showdown. UCLA falls in directly behind, and continues to roll after defeating a tough Utah team by two scores at home.

No. 6 Tennessee is the talk of college football heading into Week 7 at home vs. No. 3 Alabama. Hendon Hooker has proved himself one of the top quarterbacks in the nation trough six games, and will be the Crimson Tide’s toughest opponent to date this season.

Here are Herbie’s top eight performing teams:

1. Texas Longhorns
2. UCLA Bruins
3. Tennessee Volunteers
4. South Carolina Gamecocks
5. TCU Horned Frogs
6. Notre Dame Fighting Irish
7. Colorado State Rams
8. Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets

South Carolina’s upset of the Will Levis-less Kentucky Wildcats gave the Gamecocks their first win in Lexington in a decade. The victory could be the catalyst that kickstarts the second half of South Carolina’s season.

TCU ended the undefeated Cinderella run of Kansas, while Notre Dame is finally back on track after a disastrous first two weeks of the 2022 season. Colorado State picked up its first victory over the season vs. Nevada and Georgia Tech has a new lease on life since firing former headman Geoff Collins with two-straight victories in as many weeks.
