2022 NCAA Football Power Rankings Betting Update Heading Into Week 6

We sit one week away from the halfway mark of the CFB season. This is when the best teams are weeded out from the schools stuck in mediocrity, where the great become the best. With the top 25 starting to solidify, at least 8 teams are still capable of making the playoffs this year. Check out updated power rankings for week 6 so you can keep betting against the NCAA Football Lines.

Updated Power Rankings After Week 5 of the 2022 College Football Season

25. Syracuse, 5-0

Their schedule hasn’t been challenging for the Syracuse Orange, but they’re 5-0 nonetheless. Although Wagner and UConn are cupcakes, their win over Purdue and Louisville are impressive. They are undefeated, and they have some high-value wins.

24. Cincinnati, 4-1

Other than their loss to a completely respectable Arkansas, this team has been unstoppable. The loss of some star players dropped them off the map of the AP poll, but they are proving their dominance isn’t due to just a couple of guys.

23. LSU, 4-1

This LSU team is incredibly talented, and their one-point loss to FSU game 1 doesn’t determine the talent they hold. They obliterated Mississippi State by a couple of scores and held down every other match they’ve played.

22. Mississippi State, 4-1

Although they did lose to LSU, Mississippi State’s schedule is arguably stronger. A win against Texas A&M helps their resume, but the rest of the games haven’t seemed like incredible competition. I would like to see another big win before I move them any higher.

21. Kansas State, 4-1

They may have more high-value wins than the team ahead of them, but the loss to Tulane does them no good. Beating Oklahoma is a great look, but they have proven to play down to worse teams.

20. Washington, 4-1

This team’s only loss is to a stacked UCLA roster, and they beat Stanford and Michigan State. I understand that Kansas State did beat a CFB powerhouse; Washington’s wins may be lower quality but higher in quantity.

19. Kansas, 5-0

There is a bit of a step up from the 20s to Kansas in the rankings. Houston, Iowa State, and West Virginia are solid wins, and being undefeated always helps. If any of these games were losses, I doubt they would be in the top 25.

18. TCU, 4-0

I want TCU higher, but it’s difficult to put them more than where they’re at. Beating SMU by a single score doesn’t help their case, but demolishing Oklahoma and Colorado puts them ahead of some other competition.

17. UCLA, 5-0

The UCLA Bruins could be higher if their schedule was more difficult, as I’m confident they would win those games. Their only ranked win was against Washington, and they put up a respectable 40 points.

16. BYU, 4-1

Losing to a highly touted Oregon squad is not something to lower your head for. This team has beaten 4 genuine contenders, with no FCS or bottom-feeder FBS schools on the schedule. This BYU team, if their cards are played right, could break the top 10.

15. NC State, 4-1

This team should have demolished ECU, but only won by a single point. They destroyed UConn, Charleston, and Texas Tech, but what keeps them so high in the rankings is their only 10-point loss to the top 5 Clemson.

14. Wake Forest, 4-1

Wake Forest is in a similar boat to NC State, but their game with Clemson was even closer. The 51-45 final score was really down to the final minutes, proving they can compete with the best. Their other wins don’t pop off the paper, but they were valuable nonetheless.

13. Kentucky, 4-1

If this team beats Ole Miss, they are a top 10 team. Only losing by 3 to one of the best teams in college football is impressive, and the Florida win helps too. However, the rest of the schedule is laughable, and the record does not surprise me one bit.

12. Oregon, 4-1

Okay, yes, the Georgia loss is quite drastic. Losing by 40 does not help anybody’s confidence. However, outside of that, this team is unbelievable. Demolishing Stanford, Washington State and BYU puts them ahead of the rest and seats them close to the top 10.

11. Utah, 4-1

Although their wins are nowhere near as valuable as some of the teams below, you have to respect the absolute dominance Utah upholds against the lesser competition. The offense is firing on all cylinders, putting up at minimum 30 points in every game since week 1.

10. Penn State, 5-0

This team is undefeated with fairly valued wins to start the top 10. Penn State remain the lowest of the upper echelon of undefeated teams due to the lack of ranked wins, but the games they have won have been worth the top 10 bid.

9. Ole Miss, 5-0

The only game that holds Ole Miss above Penn State is their ranked win against Kentucky. The other wins are cupcakes, but beating a top 15 team gives bonus points that the Nittany Lions do not have.

8. Tennessee, 4-0

It is quite difficult to have Tennessee this high on the rankings, but they have proven to be quite an unstoppable force. The wins against Pitt and Florida put them in the top 10, but their game against LSU will decide the team’s fate.

7. Oklahoma State, 4-0

This team blows my mind. Oklahoma State was always the OU little brother, and now they sit atop their competition as No. 7 in the rankings. This team’s lowest scoring game was 34 points, and Oklahoma State is averaging almost 48 points per game.

6. USC, 5-0

The future is in Caleb Williams’ hands as he brings the Trojans to an astounding 5-0 start. Although they don’t have any ranked wins, Stanford and Oregon State are no small feats. The offensive firepower makes this team quite a threat, and they are in genuine playoff contention.

5. Clemson, 5-0

This is where the teams really separate. Clemson has two ranked wins as an undefeated team, and they look to find even more. After an abysmal 2021 campaign by their standards, clearly it was just a fluke.

4. Michigan, 5-0

Clemson is close behind Michigan for a playoff bid, but what holds the Wolverines to such a high standard is the dominance of their wins. Clemson’s two ranked wins were within 10 points, and Michigan has 3 wins of over 40.

3. Ohio State, 5-0

This team is in a similar state to Michigan, only multiplied. OSU’s competition has been greater, and so has their margin of victory. Since week 1, the Ohio State Buckeyes have put up 45 points or more in every game.

2. Alabama, 5-0

It is impossible to put Alabama higher than the No. 1 due to last week’s outing against Arkansas. When your starting quarterback and Heisman favorite can’t finish the game and you have to rely on your running backs, it doesn’t look very good. However, with a backup quarterback, they still ran for over 300 yards as a team to secure an easy victory.

1. Georgia, 5-0

Beating Oregon, Kent State, Missouri, and South Carolina in 4 of 5 games alone would put any team in the top 15, even if they lost a game. Georgia put the cherry on top by blowing out Samford and having two of their strong opponents lose by 40.

We knew going into Week 6 that we would see a change in the top 4. After all, we had the #3 and #4 teams meeting up, so a change was guaranteed. What we did not expect was that the #1 team would fall as well. This has been an astonishing season in college football, and you can’t help but feel as though we haven’t seen the end of the drama. The upshot of all that went down in Week 6 is that we have a new #1 and a new favorite to win it all. Whether it stays that way remains to be seen, but let’s look at the current top 10 after week 6 of the 2021 Regular Season so you can continue placing your bets against the NCAAF odds.

College Football Power Rankings Heading Into Week 7

1. Georgia Bulldogs – Georgia went into Auburn and stayed unbeaten with a 34-10 win. The scary thing with this team is that they are playing with a back-up QB and not really yet showing their best on offense.

2. Iowa Hawkeyes – If we are being honest, the Hawkeyes are a bit of a surprise. We expected them to be good, just not #2 good after 6 weeks. They had a huge win over Penn State this past weekend, but still have some big matchups to come.

3. Cincinnati Bearcats – It is certainly good to see a team outside the Power 5 crack the top 4, but let’s not forget that things could change once the Playoff Committee starts with their rankings. The Cincinnati Bearcats just need to keep winning.

4. Oklahoma Sooners – You do have to say that the Oklahoma Sooners are here by the skin of their teeth after a huge comeback win over Texas in Week 5. They have now dodged a couple of bullets, so how long can they stay here.

5. Alabama Crimson Tide – The biggest upset of the weekend saw Alabama lose a thriller on the road at Texas A&M. Given the current state of the SEC West, you would still like Alabama to get to the SEC Championship Game, but there is zero room for error.

6. Ohio State Buckeyes – The Ohio State Buckeyes are beginning to look like the team we thought they might be, but that loss to Oregon earlier in the season still looms large. The tough part of their schedule is still to come.

7. Penn State Nittany Lions – The Big Ten is proving to be a bit of a dog-eat-dog conference this season, which Penn State found out the hard way in a loss to the Iowa Hawkeyes. Penn State are not out of it, but they need to win out now.

8. Michigan Wolverines – There was not a ton of expectation on the shoulders of the Michigan Wolverines coming into the season, but they have very quietly started moving up the ranks. Some huge conference games still on the horizon.

9. Oregon Ducks – When you lose a game, you always want to bounce right back with a win. The Oregon Ducks had the bye in Week 6, so they did not get that opportunity. It will be Cal up next for them this coming weekend.

10. Michigan State Spartans – Like we said already, the Big Ten is the conference to keep an eye on at the moment. The Michigan State Spartans are not getting a ton of press, but they are an impressive 6-0. Again, huge games still to come.
