College Football News 2021 college football rankings after Week 0 for all 130 teams with results and who’s up next week.
There wasn’t much happening in Week 0, but with Illinois upsetting Nebraska and UCLA’s performance against Hawaii, there was a little bit of movement.
As always, the rankings are never predictive – they’re based on how good we think the teams are right now along with the head-to-head results.
