The College Football News 2019 college football rankings after Week 10.
As always, the CFN Rankings are based on the results, schedules, and head-to-head matchups as much as possible. At this point in the year, though, there are going to be crazier rankings swings than ever – one loss could change things for a whole slew of other teams.
Also, as always, if you have an issue or a question about a ranking, go ahead and tweet us @ColFootballNews and we’ll try to figure it out/explain. If you see something that looks REALLY off, look at the schedule and follow the trail from there – or notice the one horrific loss or wildly big win.
