Where they stand after week 10

Notre Dame had its second of two off weeks in Week 10 of the college football season, and perhaps that was a good thing.

There was more ferocity across the country as Texas A&M was defeated at South Carolina and Clemson faced Louisville at home.

The updated rankings are sure to feature some significant changes when they are released late Sunday morning, and the first College Football Playoff rankings will be released Tuesday evening. Your guess as to what they will look like is as good as any.

ESPN's Football Power Index (FPI) updated its numbers after Week 10 and Notre Dame saw some very minor changes in its chances of winning and making the College Football Playoff.
