Week 9 may have reshaped the CFP race in its own way, but as the sport turns the corner into November, Week 10 presents something different with a slate that isn’t quite as loaded as it once appeared, yet one that still carries plenty of intrigue as teams make their final impressions before Tuesday night’s first College Football Playoff rankings. Texas A&M delivered one of the weekend’s loudest statements, storming through Death Valley in a dominant second half that silenced LSU’s crowd and led to Brian Kelly’s firing days later. Vanderbilt capitalized on its first-ever College Gameday appearance with a gritty win over Missouri, while Alabama narrowly escaped South Carolina thanks to late defensive heroics and a Germie Bernard touchdown. Ole Miss notched a pivotal ranked road win at Oklahoma, and unbeatens Indiana, BYU, and Georgia Tech continued to strengthen their playoff resumés. Even as Week 10 lacks headline matchups, it’s set to provide clarity on who’s truly built to survive November’s grind. Here’s how the power rankings stack up after Week 9:
