College Football Power Rankings After Week 8: Who's the Best Team in the Country?
How far should BYU fall in the Week 8 college football power rankings after losing to UCF? The Cougars entered the weekend at No. 1 on PFN's list, but another round of upsets has changed the Top 25 and raised new questions about the College Football Playoff race. Hosted by PFN's Cam Mellor and Ollie Hodgkinson, this week's rankings put Florida at No. 25, Texas at No. 20, and Houston at No. 24. Texas Tech's offensive limitations come under scrutiny after its Cincinnati loss, while Arizona has a chance to settle the argument on the field. The top ten features Miami, Ohio State, Georgia, UCLA, Indiana, and Utah, with the possibility that multiple two-loss teams could reach the 12-team playoff.

Teams collecting frequent-flyer miles and losses make up a healthy chunk of this week’s list. Turns out conference realignment comes with baggage.
With the first two months of the season completed, all we’ve learned is that the race for the national championship is as wide open as we expected it to be.
