College football's Week 4 SP+ rankings takeaways - ESPN

espn.com

Last week, I made a pretty big deal out of the fact that the top five college football teams in the country, per SP+, were all within 1.8 points of each other.

This week, they're within 1.3. We've technically got a new No. 1 team — Texas eases into the top spot after a lopsided win over ULM — but congestion remains the story.

SP+ is pretty confident that it knows who the five best teams in the country are, and it seems pretty clear on No. 6-11 too.

There's interesting stratification among the top tiers, but at this point one thing is certain: It's Ohio State versus the SEC when it comes to the top of the college football hierarchy.
