Oy! What a weekend! There’s a new #1 as Ohio State’s reign lasted just one week. Oregon remained perfect and has moved up into the #1 slot. Both #5 Nebraska went down as did #10 South Carolina. And Florida (#22) dropped its third game of the year. There are so many upsets this week that I'll keep my commentary brief and mark each with a * at the far left.
