If there’s one thing college sports has taught us about the courtroom, it’s this: A verdict is rarely the end of the case.

The same goes for USA TODAY Sports Fraud Court.

As the final month of the regular season arrives, teams already convicted of fraud are making their last-ditch appeals, trying to prove their legitimacy before the College Football Playoff selects its 12-team field.

Fortunately, there’s no better way to reopen a case than presenting compelling new evidence. In college football, that means highly ranked matchups and statement wins. Win big against a legitimate opponent, and that fraud conviction suddenly doesn’t look so ironclad.

After Week 10, the judge’s docket is once again crowded with familiar names returning to the courtroom and pleading their innocence.

So who presented enough evidence to get the conviction overturned?

No. 1 Georgia

No. 2 Utah

No. 3 Notre Dame

No. 6 Miami

No. 7 Alabama

No. 8 Texas

No. 9 Tennessee

No. 13 Kentucky

No. 15 Iowa

No. 19 Oregon
