1. Alabama Crimson Tide (Rating: 60.7; Last week: No. 1)
Alabama has been No. 1 in the ratings every week this year. The Crimson Tide is 7-2 to win the College Football Playoff, and a 35-point favorite this week at home against Kentucky. That's the largest Alabama has been favored by in a conference game under Nick Saban.
