What an insane week of college football that was, right?

Three teams in the top 7 fell, but both B1G powerhouses remain at the top despite some scary close calls against Northwestern and Rutgers. Still, getting out a that week with a W is all that matters.

Paul Finebaum joined the long list of analysts reacting to the crazy Week 10 slate, explaining his updated Top 4 on SportsCenter Sunday morning.

Here are his rankings and thoughts:

4. TCU Horned Frogs: “Let’s say hello to TCU. They’ve been knocking on the door for so many weeks. They find themselves in these very difficult games, and they find ways of getting out of them. TCU is at No. 4 and in really good shape with some tough ones ahead.”
3. Michigan Wolverines: “Michigan survived a difficult game. Survived might be a stretch, but they had a rough go of it early on, especially at halftime. They came on to beat Rutgers. Looking ahead, they have Illinois and Ohio State.”
2. Ohio State Buckeyes: “What about the Buckeyes? A lot of people are down on Ryan Day’s team for a tough performance at Northwestern, but talking to some people who were at that game, they were lucky to get that game in with the wind and the rain and the difficult conditions.”

1. Georgia Bulldogs: “The easiest No. 1 of the season are the Dawgs. We knew the winner of this game would be No. 1, but we didn’t think one team would be as dominating. But the Dawgs looked like they did in the first game of the year when they beat Oregon by 46. They were downright fantastic.”
