Kirk Herbstreit releases new Top Four, next two out following Week 4
Kirk Herbstreit has revealed his Top Four, along with next two out following a Week 4 chalked full of interesting outcomes.
His list mostly remains the same, but Ohio State has jumped Alabama for the No. 2 spot. Oklahoma dropped out of the rankings from his first team out from last week, and have since been replaced by the Clemson Tigers follows their double-overtime victory vs. Wake Forest.

3) Alabama Crimson Tide
4) Michigan Wolverines
Next 2:
Clemson Tigers
USC Trojans
Ohio State’s jump over the Crimson Tide comes after the Buckeyes’ first conference victory of the season where they routed Wisconsin 52-21. The Badgers were a preseason top-25 team (18) and fell out of the rankings after Week 2’s loss to Washington State.
In Herbstreit’s eyes, the victory over Wisconsin – and OSU’s body of work this season as a whole – is enough to vault them over Alabama, who haven’t played any notable games aside from Texas, which they came out of with a one-point victory. Once Alabama gets into the main stretch of their conference schedule, they could move up thanks to their strength of schedule if the Crimson Tide continue their winning ways.
Georgia (1), Michigan (4) and USC (6) remain in place after Week 4, but are sure to change as the season progresses.
