College Football Playoff Rankings, Week 10 Odds and Biggest Games In November

The push to the 12-team College Football Playoff is drawing more interest as the most meaningful games are played in the weeks ahead. That includes seven CFP Top 25 games in Week 11 following the first of six College Football Playoff Top 25 rankings released Nov. 2. 

Miami (8-0) from the ACC is No. 1 and the Hurricanes have a huge game this Saturday at No. 11 Notre Dame (7-1), who is a -6.5 point favorite. The Fighting Irish will be on the outside looking in for the CFP if they lose to the Hurricanes for the second-straight season.

College Football Playoff

Recall last year when the first CFP rankings were released in early Nov., 2025 and the top 5 teams were No. 1 Ohio State, Indiana, Texas A&M, Alabama and No. 5 Georgia. Three of those teams made the College Football Playoff and had a first round bye - Indiana, Ohio State and Georgia with Texas Tech also getting a bye after opening the CFP rankings at No. 8. But it was No. 18 Miami that moved up to not only make the CFP, but beat Texas A&M and Ohio State as underdogs and then Ole Miss to advance to the championship game where they lost to undefeated Indiana. 

Now the 2026 College Football Rankings provides a look at the CFP Committee's thoughts and evaluation of teams wins and strength of schedule. The SEC has 10 teams in the Top 25 followed by the Big Ten with six and Big 12 with five.

Top 25 

- Texas (-2.5) 

NCAA Football Opinions 

- Oklahoma State (-5)
- West Virginia (+17.5)

Kansas State junior QB Blake Barnett makes his first start against Oklahoma State, and he's the fourth QB in four weeks to start for the Wildcats. 

BYU at Utah - The 104th edition of the Holy War is for first place in the Big 12. BYU (7-1/4-1 Big 12) has won the last three meetings over Utah (8-0/5-0). The underdog has also won three of the last four meetings and seven of the last 10. The Utes have allowed just 6 first half points this season.  

Texas at Missouri -  

Georgia at Ole Miss - A rematch of last year's CFP win by Ole Miss 39-34 in a back and forth game. Both quarterbacks Chambliss and Stockton return after Chambliss passed for 362 yards and 2 TD's in last years win. 

Alabama at LSU - 

Oregon at Ohio State -

Kentucky at Tennessee -  

Miami at Notre Dame - Miami's 27-24 win over Notre Dame last season in Week 1 was the difference in the 'Canes making the College Football Playoff and Notre Dame missing out. Three Heisman favorites in this contest make it another reason to watch and wager. Miami QB Darian Mensah (+150), Miami WR Malachi Toney (+400) and Notre Dame QB C.J. Carr (+1100). This is the most bet game mid-week at BetMGM with Miami the most spread bets, but Notre Dame the most spread money.
