Week 10 Power Rankings: Surprise Teams Creating Havoc in Big 12, Pac-12

Alabama is the only team in the top five this week that is facing a ranked opponent. The rest of the top five will look to avoid upsets in South Carolina at No. 2 Georgia (-25), No. 3 Ohio State (-16.5) at Iowa, No. 4 Wisconsin (-9) at Indiana and Wake Forest at No. 5 Notre Dame (-12.5).

Right outside of the top five there is plenty of action between two ranked teams. No. 6 Clemson, No. 7 Penn State and No. 8 Oklahoma all face difficult road tests.

Clemson is a seven-point road favorite at No. 20 North Carolina State. The Tigers are 8–0 SU and 6–2 ATS in their last eight games against teams with winning records and 383 SU in their last 41 games overall.

Penn State is going off at -7.5 against No. 24 Michigan State. The Nittany Lions can't afford any hangover from last Saturday's loss to Ohio State if they hope to solve the Spartans, who they are 1–3 SU and ATS against in the last four games in this series according to the OddsShark College Football Database.

And Oklahoma clashes with No. 11 Oklahoma State in one of the biggest games of the week. The Sooners have won 14 straight games on the road.
