It was another wild week in college football with a number of upsets and last-second game-winning players. In the end, six ranked teams fell, including two former unbeaten teams in then-No. 7 Minnesota and then-No. 12 Baylor.
The Golden Gophers dropped four spots to No. 11 and the Bears dropped just one spot to come in at No. 13 after blowing a 28-3 lead.
The top three teams stayed the same with LSU at No. 1, Ohio State at No. 2 and Clemson at No. 3, however, Georgia’s win at Auburn pushed the Bulldogs into the No. 4 spot, ahead of Bama, which likely saw its stock drop after losing star quarterback Tua Tagovailoa for the season in a win over Mississippi State.

With Minnesota’s loss, combined with a dominating 49-3 victory over UCLA on nationally television, Utah moved up to No. 7 in the Associated Press Top 25 Poll. It was the largest margin of victory in the Pac-12 era for the Utes.
Oregon picked up some more votes, however, the Ducks stayed at No. 6 behind Georgia and Alabama. Oklahoma, Penn State and Florida sit right behind Utah to round out the Top 10.
