### Dan Mullen's Top 25 College Football Rankings After Week 11
Following an action-packed Week 11 in college football, notable results and intense matchups took center stage, particularly in the SEC. ESPN analyst Dan Mullen has now published his updated Top 25 rankings on Twitter, reflecting the outcomes and performances of the past week.
Oregon remains firmly in the top spot after a decisive 39-18 win over Maryland. Initially, the Terrapins seemed to keep pace, but the Ducks eventually secured a comfortable victory. Oregon's upcoming schedule includes a crucial game at Wisconsin, and they will conclude their regular season by hosting Washington after a week off. This trajectory might lead them to a potential rematch with Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship Game.
Indiana has climbed to No. 2 following a narrow 20-15 victory against Michigan. The Hoosiers, led by Curt Cignetti, have displayed consistency despite not facing the stiffest competition. Their true credentials as national title contenders will be tested when they visit Ohio State on Nov. 23, following a break this weekend.
BYU sits at No. 3, maintaining an undefeated record after a nail-biting 22-21 win over Utah. Although their schedule hasn't been the most challenging, the Cougars have managed to eke out victories in tight situations, displaying resilience throughout their 9-0 season.
Ohio State is ranked fourth in Mullen's evaluations. Despite a season blemish from a loss to Oregon, the Buckeyes have rebounded strongly, recently routing Purdue 45-0. The Buckeyes are on the road against Northwestern this weekend, and the showdown with Indiana looms large shortly thereafter.
Texas, the first SEC team in Mullen's top 25, occupies a strong position despite an earlier home loss to Georgia. The Longhorns significantly outmatched Florida with a 49-17 triumph, advancing to an 8-1 record. The upcoming weeks include matchups against Arkansas and Kentucky, eventually leading to a pivotal game against Texas A&M.
Similarly, Tennessee has bounced back from a loss to Arkansas to secure four consecutive wins. Despite early struggles against SEC opponents, the Vols had a breakout performance, putting up 33 points against Mississippi State. Tennessee hopes to carry this momentum into their upcoming clash with Georgia.
Dan Mullen's updated rankings vividly capture the shifting dynamics and emerging narratives as the college football season barrels towards its climax.
