THE POST’S TOP TEN

◼1. Clemson (5-0) (Last week: 1)

The Tigers can spot anyone in the ACC three touchdowns and they would still win. The gulf is that wide between Clemson and the rest of the conference.

◼2. Alabama (4-0) (2)

As Jerry Jeudy tweeted, Alabama is becoming

Wide Receiver U. After producing two first-round picks last year — Jeudy and Henry Ruggs III — the Crimson Tide have the best trio in the country this season in Jaylen Waddle, DeVonta Smith and John Metchie III.

◼3. Ohio State (0-0) (3)

It’s game week in Columbus, and with it come sky-high expectations. Anything less than a title is a disappointment.

◼4. Georgia (2-1) (4)

The Bulldogs defense doesn’t get a pass for allowing 564 yards and 41

points, but at some point Kirby Smart has to take a look at USC transfer J.T. Daniels. Quarterback Stetson Bennett, the former walk-on, has a limited ceiling, as his performance against Alabama showed.

◼5. Penn State (0-0) (5) The Nittany Lions offense has the potential to be elite. Not only does quarterback Sean Clifford return, but he has his top four running backs, tight end Pat Freiermuth and receiver Jahan Dotson.

◼6. Notre Dame (3-0) (6)

Forget the Clemson game on Nov.

7. Notre Dame will have to be much better just to beat 3-3 Pittsburgh on Saturday than it was in narrowly escaping one-win Louisville.

◼7. Florida (2-1) (7)

This is the real challenge of this bizarre season. After a frustrating loss, Florida will have three full weeks to agonize over it while hoping to avoid rust, due to consecutive weeks of COVID-19 postponements.

◼8. Cincinnati (3-0) (9)

Odds are long that the AAC can get into the playoff. But the CincinnatiSMU winner Saturday will at least be part of the conversation.

◼9. Oklahoma State, (3-0) (10)

One of the nation’s best running backs (Chuba Hubbard) against one of the better run defenses (Iowa State) will be one of the top storylines in Saturday’s showdown in Stillwater.

10. Texas A&M (3-1) (NR)

The on-the-rise Aggies are as good as anyone in the non-Alabama segment of the SEC, backing up their big win over Florida with a commanding road victory at Mississippi State. Dropped out: North Carolina (3-1)
