College Football Rankings: Week 9

Week 8 of the college football season is in the books, and while it wasn't as exciting as previous weeks....we still have some movement in the rankings as we inch closer and closer to the first-ever college football playoff. With that in mind, this week I will release my first list of the four teams I feel are the most deserving to make it into the playoff. Not only that, but I have also listed my first five favorite's to win the Heisman at the end of the year. You can tell we are getting closer to December now that every other word out of a college football fan's mouth is either "Heisman" or "playoff". It's a good time to be a college football fan.....
