THE POST’S TOP TEN

■ 1. Ohio State (7-0) (Last week: 1)

Every undefeated contender has had a tense moment or two, even Alabama. All, except one. Ohio State has yet to trail in the second half, its closest final margin a 24-point rout of Michigan State.

■ 2. Alabama (7-0) (2)

Nothing but Tua Tagovailoa’s right ankle matters right now for Alabama. The Crimson Tide won’t win the SEC West or reach the playoff without the Heisman Trophy contender.

■ 3. LSU (7-0) (3)

There is no longer any doubt whether or not the Tigers are a true title contender. Big wins (at Texas, home against Florida) and dominant performances illustrate that.

■ 4. Oklahoma (7-0) (4)

The Sooners have scored at least 34 points in 17 straight games, spanning three quarterbacks. The one constant: Coach Lincoln Riley.

■ 5. Clemson (7-0) (5)

It’s going to be hard to know what Clemson is until the playoff, provided it gets in. The ACC is that weak. Just look at Saturday, when Trevor Lawrence threw two red-zone interceptions, and all it did was lessen the rout over L’ville.

■ 6. Georgia (6-1) (7)

If not for the offensively challenged opponent, Georgia would’ve had to sweat on Saturday. Fortunately for the Bulldogs, Kentucky was putrid, but their offensive issues remain, especially with a passing game that produced just 35 yards through the air.

■ 7. Notre Dame (5-1) (8)

Win Saturday at Michigan and an 11-1 regular season looks very realistic. It’s the Irish’s only shot at the playoff.

■ 8. Florida (7-1) (9)

We’ll take Florida — not Georgia — to win the SEC East. Gators so far have shown more toughness and resiliency, both showcased in their come-frombehind win at South Carolina.

■ 9. Penn State (7-0) (10)

Consecutive wins, each by a single score over ranked opponents Iowa and Michigan, give the undefeated Nittany Lions some legitimacy.

■ 10. Oregon (6-1) (NR)

Just as the Ducks have rebounded from the season-opening loss to Auburn, they showed resiliency Saturday, rallying from a twotouchdown deficit to knock off Washington and take a commanding two-game lead in the Pac-12 North.

Dropped out: Wisconsin (6-1)
