There’s a brand new Top 6 from Kirk Herbstreit. The ESPN analyst releases his updated top teams in college football every week and he’s got some new names in the fold after Saturday.

Herbstreit still has two SEC teams at the top of his list and one B1G team inside the Top 4, with another on the outside looking in. Cracking the analyst’s Top 4 this week was Cincinnati, which had an impressive road victory over Notre Dame.

Below is Herbstreit’s Top 6:

  1. Alabama Crimson Tide
  2. Georgia Bulldogs
  3. Iowa Hawkeyes
  4. Cincinnati Bearcats
  5. Penn State Nittany Lions
  6. Oklahoma Sooners

Both Iowa and Penn State posted impressive victories over the weekend. The Hawkeyes dominated Maryland 51-14 in College Park on Friday night to improve to 5-0. The Nittany Lions had a shutout win over Indiana to improve to 5-0, as well.

Penn State and Iowa meet in Kinnick Stadium next Saturday in a huge matchup. How much will that affect the rankings? We only have to wait one week to find out.
