College Football Rankings: Week 11

Yesterday was called "Separation Saturday" in college football for a reason. We had numerous ranked teams playing each other this weekend and we were finally going to get some separation in the polls to help make some sense out of all this madness. Sometimes you just need everyone to play each other to help make everything come together. Now, imagine if we lived in a world where teams like Alabama had to play teams like Ohio State in required highly-anticipated non-conference schedule match-ups. Wouldn't that be something else? Instead, we usually have to wait until November to help make sense out of all this madness. The good news is, it's November and the picture is starting to get a little clearer. Some more contenders were eliminated from a potential play-off spot (Auburn) and other teams inched closer to locking their spot up (Oregon). Let's take a closer look at my top 25 college football teams following "Separation Saturday":
