College Football Rankings Week 3: CFN Ranks All 134 Teams

So what do you do with Notre Dame? How about Northern Illinois?

How much should Michigan be punished for losing at home, or is Texas just that good?

In case you're not familiar with how we do this, we always respect the results until there's another factor involved - like, if and when Northern Illinois loses to someone mediocre.

For now, we might think Notre Dame is better than NIU, but NIU won in South Bend, so if you're doing this right, the Huskies have to be ranked ahead of the Irish and Texas A&M.

And, as always, there are wild mood swings in our rankings, especially early in the season.

So with all of that in mind, here are our rankings of every team going into Week 3 of the college football season.
