Former Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray, now a college football analyst with ESPN, provided me with his personal rankings of the top 10 teams following Week 9.
Week 9 saw the Georgia Bulldogs take down the Florida Gators 42-20 to move to 8-0 on the season. It was close for a few minutes in the third quarter before UGA pulled away again. But overall for the Dawgs, it was dominance. Ohio State beat Penn State 44-31 but it was a very, very close game until the Buckeyes went on a run in the fourth quarter. And Tennessee simply dominated Kentucky.
Here’s Murray’s new top-ten:
