College football rankings: ESPN overhauls FPI for Week 11

Another week of college football has wrapped up, and now teams are entering Week 11. Where did the time go? We're getting deep into the college football season, and there were lots of shakeups throughout Week 10.

Oklahoma State made one of the biggest jumps in ESPN's latest Football Power Index, climbing 13 spots to No. 21. The Cowboys gave the rankings model lots to like after delivering a lopsided 66-28 win over Kansas State. Oklahoma State's offense was firing on all cylinders, putting up 66 points in a performance that was difficult to ignore. The Cowboys have become one of the top scoring teams in college football, ranking third nationally in points scored.

That kind of offensive production can make a big difference in a power index ranking. Oklahoma State didn't just beat Kansas State. It did so by a 38-point margin, giving the Cowboys a major boost in the latest ESPN rankings. Moving up 13 spots is a real jump, and the Cowboys earned it with one of their strongest performances of the season. Now, they'll look to keep that momentum going and show that their offensive success is more than a one-week story.

Notre Dame also beat Miami in a huge showdown on Saturday, and that keeps the Fighting Irish at No. 1. Here's a look at the full tally.
