College football rankings: Updated 25 ratings fallout, Week 10

With the first College Football Playoff rankings of 2018, the table is now set for the season's stretch run.

Below, we're keeping track of each other's top-25 game's impact, both before and after final scores, mostly paying attention to CFP's business committee, not highlights and stuff.

Remember the things the committee has done it: wins over final top-25 teams, wins over bowl teams, road wins, dominating wins, weirdly excusable losses, being Alabama, and not being a mid-major. It does not care what your opponent's ranking was at kickoff.

All times ET. All days Saturday, unless noted. Final scores in bold.

Games in which the winning team will have a very high-quality Week 9 victory by season's end. Gold: really meaningful upsets.

• No. 1 Alabama (9-0) 29, No. 3 LSU (7-2) 0: Lmao was spread 14.5, and that was hilariously enormous. Bama doubled in Death Valley. Crown 'em.
• No. 5 Michigan (8-1) 42, No. 14 Penn State (6-3) 7: I had the Wolverines in the Playoff, and I do believe I'll leave them there, thank you. Penn State's NY6 chances took a big hit.
• No. 6 Georgia (8-1) 34, No. 9 Kentucky (7-2) 17: An impressive way to clinch the SEC East. If not for a fluky TD towards the end, the Dawgs would have more than doubled the spread on the road.
• No. 13 West Virginia (7-1) 42, No. 17 Texas (6-3) 41: One of the wildest games of 2018 ends with WVU likely to lose to Oklahoma in the Big 12 Championship.

Games in which the winner will probably have a decent bowl team.

• No. 4 Notre Dame (9-0) 31, Northwestern (5-4) 21: Northwestern could win the Big Ten West. Northwestern could be a .500 team that lost to Akron. This could've been anything to win, but the Irish control their path regardless.
• No. 7 Oklahoma (8-1) 51, Texas Tech (5-4) 46: Well, we may not be hearing the committee praised, but it's a decent road win that keeps the Sooners on the road for a Big 12 title and alive for the Playoff.
• No. 8 Washington State (8-1) 19, Cal (5-4) 13: WSU is still alive for the Playoff, but more realistically, moves closer to clinching the Pac-12 North. Before the Apple Cup, ideally.
• Missouri (5-4) 38, No. 11 Florida (6-3) 17: So Mizzou is good (the results against Alabama and Georgia are already relatively impressive), and Florida's NY6 hopes it's just ended.
• Arizona State (5-4) 38, No. 15 Utah (6-3) 20The Pac-12 South is at least as messy as the Coastal ACC and Big Ten West. As of now, ARIZONA is tied for the lead.
• Purdue (5-4) 38, No. 16 Iowa (6-3) 36: OK, so, um, maybe Northwestern really will win the Big Ten West? I do not know. Someone has to, theoretically.
• No. 18 Mississippi State (6-3) 45, Louisiana Tech (6-3) 3
• No. 19 Syracuse (7-2) 41, Wake Forest (4-5) 24
• Auburn (6-3) 28, No. 20 Texas A & M (5-4) 24: Gus Malzahn bounces off the mat with a comeback win? A & M collapses? I have never seen these things before the time!
• No. 21 NC State (6-2) 47, Florida State (4-5) 28: FSU's nation-leading bowl streak remains in major jeopardy.
• No. 22 Boston College (7-2) 31, Virginia Tech (4-4) 21
• Pitt (5-4) 23, No. 25 Virginia (6-3) 13: You thought it was weird how Virginia was leading the ACC Coastal? That's nothing. Pitt now leads.

Since the committee has shown that non-power teams have a long track record in the playoff, they have a separate section for the top-ranked mid-major field.

• No. 12 UCF (8-0) 52, Temple (5-4) 40: UCF never had a chance playoff, and unlike last year, it does not have a real case anyway. This is just a respectable win that should maintain their surprisingly wide lead in the committee's Group of 5 rankings.
• No. 23 Fresno State (8-1) 48, UNLV (2-7) 3: The Mountain West is still probably going to UCF loses, since it's clear the committee is a whole lot about the number in the loss column.
• Buffalo 51 (8-1), Miami (Ohio) (3-6) 42
• Cincinnati (8-1) 42, Navy (2-7) 0
• SMU (4-5) 45, Houston (7-2) 31: What?
• UAB (8-1) 52, UTSA (3-6) 3
• Tulane (4-5) 41, USF (7-2) 15
• Utah State (7-1) is whapping Hawaii (6-4), and I'll update with the final score in the morning

The committee tries to win a lot of bad news, but you can get some credit for winning on the road gold really laying it to folks. So do not lose!
