By Kevin Kelley -

College football rankings for week 4 of the 2019 season have been released. UCF moved in to the Top 15 of the AP Poll, while Virginia made the biggest jump in both rankings.

The UCF Knights defeated the Stanford Cardinal 45-27 at home on Saturday, which helped them move up two spots to No. 15 in the AP Poll. In the Coaches Poll, the Knights remained at No. 16.

After defeating the Florida State Seminoles at home 31-24, the Virginia Cavaliers moved up four spots in the AP Poll to No. 21 and jumped into the Coaches Poll at No. 22.

The top nine remain the same in both Week 4 polls. Clemson is number one, and the Tigers are followed by Alabama in second and Georgia in third. LSU is 4th in the AP Poll and 5th in the Coaches, while Oklahoma is 5th in the AP and 4th in the Coaches.

If you take out Clemson the ACC would be the 7th or 8th ranked conference. Clemson may be the best team in CFB but just one slip up would cost them a playoff ticket. There’s no way they jump a SEC, BIG 10 or PAC 12 team with just one loss imo
