College football rankings: 5 SEC teams ranked in Super 16 after Week 4
It’s another rankings Sunday in the college football world. The Football Writers Association of America (FWAA) and the National Football Foundation (NFF) released the new Super 16 poll on Sunday.
The top 4 teams remain Georgia, Alabama, Ohio State and Michigan. The Crimson Tide, which won 55-3 over Vanderbilt, and Buckeyes picked up a handful of Georgia’s first-place votes after the Bulldogs’ closer-than-expected 39-22 win over Kent State.
Tennessee moved up 4 spots to No. 7 after a 38-33 over Florida on Saturday. Kentucky remains at No. 9 after defeating Northern Illinois 31-23 while Ole Miss moved up a spot from No. 15 to No. 14 after a 35-27 win over Tulsa.
Arkansas was No. 10, but dropped out following a 23-21 loss to Texas A&M. The Razorbacks and Aggies are both among the other teams receiving votes.
