After a lopsided first half, the heavyweight clash between Alabama and Georgia lived up to the hype, with the Bulldogs potential record-setting comeback falling just short in a 41-34 victory by the Crimson Tide. Elsewhere in SEC action, Ole Miss fell to unranked Kentucky, meaning two teams ranked inside the Top 10 last week suffered their first loss of the season. Who's ready for a Top 25 shakeup? Those two games were far from the only outcomes that had a major impact on the rankings, with Kansas State, Notre Dame and Penn State each scoring victories over ranked opponents in Oklahoma State, Louisville and Illinois, respectively.
One final upset unfolded to close out the day's action when Utah fell to Arizona in an impressive 23-10 win by the Wildcats, throwing the Big 12 pecking order into chaos. All of that meant a long list of previously ranked teams rising and falling, as well as a few unranked teams crashing the party in B/R's latest Top 25 rankings. This week's panel included Adam Kramer, Morgan Moriarty and Joel Reuter.
