Overview

• Most ranked teams cruised one week after major upheaval, highlighted by Ohio State's 70-0, Oregon's 69-3, Florida State's 77-3, and Penn State's 34-0 victories.
• South Florida won 18-16 at Florida, positioning the Bulls to enter the rankings as the current Group of Five pace-setter.
• No. 17 SMU lost 48-45 to Baylor in double overtime after blowing a late two-touchdown lead, a result that should push the Mustangs down.
• Illinois defeated Duke 45-19 for its most lopsided nonconference road win since 2001, keeping a possible top-10 ranking in play.
• Voters will consider Texas A&M's 44-22 win over Utah State, Georgia Tech's 59-12 victory without quarterback Haynes King, and Oregon's record margin against Oklahoma State.
