Peter Snyder’s CFB Power Rankings – 2nd Edition

The Big Ten is officially back and all of a sudden the race for the CFP just got a whole lot more interesting. Miss last week’s edition? Check it out here. 

My second edition of the CFB Power Rankings is as follows: 

15. UCF

Last Week’s Ranking: NR

UCF QB Dillon Gabriel passed for a career-high 417 yards with 4 TD against GT.

He’s the 5th UCF quarterback to pass for 400 yards and 4 TD in a game since the Knights moved to the FBS in 1996, joining McKenzie Milton, Blake Bortles, Ryan Schneider and Daunte Culpepper. pic.twitter.com/wCHbF4ySTx
