"data-c-credit="USA TODAY"> Caleb Williams drew a bunny out of his hat-- or the round from the arms of his colleague on a crucial 4th down
-- to help Oklahoma stay clear of the ugliest of hideous losses. Alabama and Ohio State continued to roll in the wake of earlier losses, with the Crimson Trend taking down competing Tennessee and also the Buckeyes'crime putting it on another defenseless Big Ten defense.Two of the country's leading groups were knocked out: at Iowa State and also to Illinois. There may be few changes near the
top of this week's U.S.A. TODAY Sports AFCA Coaches Poll, however crucial games in the SEC as well as Big 10 pledge to tremble points up before the end of October. Right here's exactly how the leading 10 of this week's survey might look:< apart aria-label= "advertisement"class= "gnt_m gnt_x gnt_x __ lbl gnt_x __ al "> 1. Georgia(7-0)The
magnificent Bulldogs were off Saturday, providing instructor Kirby Smart the possibility to head down to New Orleans as well as spend his Friday evening. Georgia now readies for rival Florida, in a grudge match that can turn hideous for the Gators.2. Oklahoma( 8-0 )What's the charge? Will there be one? Not in this situation. For one, knocking Oklahoma down a fix would suggest promoting Cincinnati, which may be tough to do after the Bearcats resisted Navy. Alabama? Possibly, especially based upon the method the Crimson Trend have looked the past two weeks. It's likely that OU stays at No. 2.
3. Cincinnati(7-0 )The Midshipmen made Cincinnati sweat in a 27-20 win, elevating the possibility that Alabama moves ahead of the unbeaten Bearcats as well as takes over at No. 3. In the meantime, must be enough to ward off the Crimson Tide. Yet the length of time can that last? It's clear that one-possession wins against the bottom teams in the American won't cut it.
4. Alabama (7-1)Bryce Young tossed for 371 lawns with four goals, two on the ground, as Alabama expanded its long winning streak against Tennessee. It had not been constantly very easy: UT led 14-7 at halftime and also attracted within a goal in the fourth quarter but was ultimately removed by the Trend's eruptive offense. Because that unusual loss to Texas A&M, the Tide have outscored Mississippi State and the Volunteers by a consolidated 68 factors.5.Ohio State (6-1)
Ohio State (6-1)
Exactly how great is this crime? It's just the very best in university football. It's likewise why OSU is instantly looking a growing number of like the greatest risk to Georgia's potential undefeated march to the nationwide title. The Buckeyes have now covered the 50-point mark in four straight video games as well as are the team to beat in the Big 10. However that's not enough at this moment to burglarize the leading 4 of the Coaches Survey.
6. Michigan (7-0)Michigan did to Northwestern what most groups have done to the young and unskilled Wildcats-- control, essentially. Behind 457 backyards of violation as well as 28 very first downs, that comes as a breath of fresh air after a run of close games to begin Large 10 play.7. Michigan State(7-0)After an off Saturday
, the Spartans prepare for a brutal verdict to the regular period. That begins with Michigan on Oct. 30, then Purdue, Maryland, Ohio State as well as Penn State in November. The good news is that the Wolverines, Terrapins and Buckeyes come at house. Will talk of Mel Tucker being a major prospect at LSU come to be a distraction?
8. Oregon(6-1 )Does any individual keep in mind that Oregon defeated Ohio State last month, and also when traveling, no much less? However, has been as well spotty to take advantage, allowing the Buckeyes to relocate method in advance in the surveys and also in the race for the national semifinals. The Ducks might utilize a run of blowouts to shut the regular period.9.Ole Miss (6-1)
Ole Miss included an additional strong win,, and need to jump in advance of Iowa and also land inside the leading 10. Would certainly that be reasonable? The Rebels are obviously flashier as well as more interesting than the Hawkeyes, who are neither fancy nor exciting. Yet Iowa does have Top 25 victories versus Iowa State as well as Penn State. Ole Miss has only one win against a group then in the Coaches Poll, defeating Arkansas, but the Razorbacks have because lost that national ranking.10.
Iowa (6-1)
Look for Iowa to climb up back right into the top 10 after plummeting from No. 2 to No. 11 complying with a poor loss at home to Purdue. Of course, the Hawkeyes aren't aided by the Boilermakers' loss on Saturday to Wisconsin. Yet after losses from Penn State as well as Oklahoma State, who else continues of Iowa? The Irish are the just various other real option.Follow universities reporter Paul Myerberg on Twitter
