• Texas fell at Florida for its second loss, with late clock issues cutting off a final Hail Mary attempt in The Swamp.
• Ohio State routed Minnesota 42-3 and is projected to stay No. 1, with Oregon and Miami holding firm after the Hurricanes’ 28-22 win at Florida State.
• Coaches Poll projections expect Penn State and Texas to fall out of the top 10 as Alabama moves up after defeating Vanderbilt for a second straight ranked win.
