CBS Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- BYU's perfect season ended with a double-overtime loss to unranked UCF, marking the fifth top-two AP team to lose this season, the most before November since 1990.
- The past three weeks have seen an unprecedented number of upsets, with 11 losses by top-10 teams, tying the record for any three-week span since the AP poll began in 1936.
- Despite three unbeaten teams remaining—Miami, UCLA, and Utah—only Miami and UCLA are coached by first-year head coaches, and several one- and two-loss teams rank higher than some undefeated squads.
- Ohio State is ranked No. 1 in the CBS Sports Power Rankings as it prepares to face USC, which recently suffered a heavy loss to Wisconsin, while Miami holds the No. 2 spot despite some debate over its ranking.
- The CBS Sports Power Rankings reflect current team resumes and talent levels rather than future predictions, highlighting the fluidity and unpredictability of this college football season.
