2024 college football rankings: Joel Klatt's top 10 teams after Week 11
Week 11 brought us some huge shakeups in the College Football Playoff race.
Miami (Fla.)'s undefeated season came to an end with its loss to unranked Georgia Tech. BYU nearly joined the Hurricanes but kicked a game-winning field goal at the buzzer to defeat Utah. Georgia was upended by Ole Miss in rainy Oxford, while Alabama likely put a dagger in LSU's playoff hopes.
The last two of those results have created an interesting situation in the SEC. Eight teams have two or fewer losses in conference play entering the final three weeks of the regular season. It's possible that there could be an eight-way tie for first place or a six-way tie for second place when the season ends.
It's looking less likely that we'll have two teams with just one regular-season loss going head-to-head in the SEC Championship Game. It's also looking more likely that we'll have a handful of 10–2 teams in the SEC when the regular season ends. If that's the case, there's probably going to be a 10-2 team in the SEC that won't make the CFP.
Here are my top 10 teams for this week.
1. Oregon (Last week: 1)
Record: 10-0
Week 11 result: Defeated Maryland, 39-18
Oregon has a great balance on its roster. It's such a good team and it's getting better each week. QB Dillon Gabriel looks like he's getting more comfortable, too. He set the record for the most passing touchdowns by a player in FBS history.
The Ducks are fast, long and good at the line of scrimmage. When you pair that with a talented veteran quarterback with Gabriel, it's no wonder why Oregon is the No. 1 team.

Week 11 result: D
