Georgia still No. 1, Texas falls in college football NCAA Re-Rank 1-138 after Week 6

In the wake of Week 6, the USA TODAY Sports NCAA Re-Rank 1-138 has declared Georgia as the reigning No. 1 college football team. Their recent victory over Alabama has solidified their hold on that coveted position. On the flip side, Texas has fallen down the rankings to No. 7 following an ugly loss to Oklahoma. The Longhorns, however, managed to avoid a more significant drop courtesy of their comeback win against Ohio State. Despite this hard-fought victory, Texas is still not able to climb above the No. 5 Buckeyes.

There remains no contest for the No. 1 spot, with only Notre Dame and Miami, ranked No. 2 and 3 respectively, being within striking distance. Both teams lack the necessary credentials to challenge Georgia after Saturday's win at Alabama. Currently, the SEC has four teams within the top eight, with Georgia taking the top spot, Alabama at No. 6, Texas at No. 7, and Mississippi at No. 8.

Outside the SEC, UCLA has made a remarkable jump to No. 9 after a hard-fought 17-15 victory over Oregon. This climb of nine spots reflects the team's explosive performance under new head coach Bob Chesney. The Ducks, though highly skilled, have yet to demonstrate the consistency required for a top-tier ranking.

Conversely, Oklahoma has climbed to No. 29 after defeating Texas, bolstering their position in the rankings. Meanwhile, LSU has fallen to No. 21 after a loss to Kentucky, while Florida has plummeted to No. 33 following a tough game. Texas A&M has also suffered a significant drop, landing at No. 55.

In the Big Ten conference, Iowa and Southern California have joined UCLA in climbing the rankings, moving up to No. 14 and 15 respectively. Meanwhile, Nebraska has surprisingly sneaked up to No. 25 after nearly defeating Indiana. However, Oregon has suffered a setback, dropping to No. 37. Minnesota has also seen a significant drop, falling 16 spots to No. 46, and Penn State has plummeted to No. 57.
