Wins by Oregon and Iowa shook up the top 10 this week, and Ole Miss enters in a big way. Bama still leads the pack, though.
College football had plenty of surprises last weekend, with the biggest shocker happening in Columbus, Ohio. The Oregon Ducks probably aren’t surprised they traveled across the country and beat the Ohio State Buckeyes, though. Oregon played without five starters, including defensive end Kayvon Thibodeaux, who could be the first overall pick in next spring’s NFL Draft. The weekly Newsweek top 20 saw as much shuffling this week as it did after the first full weekend of games. Alabama remains at No.1, followed by Georgia at No.2. Ohio State plummeted from the third spot all the way to No.15 because, well, they lost at home to a team without five of its starters, and the Buckeyes didn’t look like a top 10 team. Oregon won the game,35-28, and it was only a one-score game because Ohio State got a late touchdown.
