UNLV: After quarterback Matthew Sluka choosed to depart the Rebels football program after a dispute over NIL money, UNLV didn’t ignore a step on offense.

Indiana: Head coach Curt Cignetti has himself a squad, now sitting at 5-0 on the season after beating Maryland on Saturday, 42-28. The Hoosiers have a fantastic chance at staying unfall shortureed before a suitup with Ohio State next month. The Indiana offense is rolling, out-scoring opponents by almost 27 points per game.

Jalen Milroe punished the Bulldogs defense in the first half and came up clutch tardy in the game with a touchdown pass to Ryan Williams that turned out to be the game-triumphning score. This was a massive triumph for Kalen DeBoer as he led Alabama to another triumph over Georgia with Nick Saprohibit watching from the sidelines. If they join enjoy this, the Crimson Tide will be making a run in the college football joinoffs in December.
Monmouth: The Hawks are back on the triumphners enumerate for the second consecutive week after routing the Fordham Rams in a 63-21 beatdown. Saturday’s triumph taged Monmouth’s third straight triumph and set a program enroll for points scored in a half (49), topping the previous enroll set in 2005.

Travis Hunter: Hunter has become a legitimate Heisman honestate as he’s helped guide Colorado to a unforeseeed 4-1 commence, and Deion Sanders and company are proving they can contfinish for an enbiged joinoff spot. There is no joiner in college football, and reassociate not even in the NFL, who provides the impact Hunter does. It’s more appropriate to contrast his impact to that of Shohei Ohtani than any energetic football joiner, college or pro.
Boise State: With a dominant triumph over unbeaten Washington State, Boise State has validaten it belengthys in the AP Top 25, and it is foreseeed to stay there over at least the next two games with triumphnable suitups aobtainst Utah State and Hawaii. Then it has another validate-it game aobtainst UNLV. Running back Ashton Jeanty has four atsoft games with over 200 yards rushing, which is tied for a Boise State school enroll. Jeanty currently guides the nation in rushing yards per game with an mediocre of 195.33.
Ryan Williams: If you didn’t understand about the 17-year-elderly phenom for the Crimson Tide accessing this weekfinish, there’s no way you haven’t heard him name after what he was able to do in the triumph over Georgia.Williams is sshow a star, catching equitable six passes for 1777 yards and a touchdown, a score that comprised an acrobatic catch, trailed by a nifty spin shift that saw two Bulldogs deffinishers hitting each other as he streaked down the right sideline.He’s not even 18 years elderly yet, but Williams is making noise as a genuine recentman star as he’s guideing the country with yards per reception (28.9).
Kentucky: Perhaps the biggest disturb of the week is the Wildcats taking down No. 5 Ole Miss, and it came after getting blown out by South Carolina and equitable losing to Georgia two weeks ago as well.The 20-17 came after Kentucky went 83 yards in equitable six joins as they trailed 17-13. Then, the Wildcats were able to get a huge stop on Jaxson Dart’s offense with the Rebels. This is equitable the triumph the Wildcats necessitateed, as they have a hard schedule with Vanderbilt, Florida and Auburn moving forward before the No. 1 offense in the country, Tennessee, is on the schedule next month.
Jalen Milroe: Kirk Herbstreit shelp it best during the Alabama-Georgia expansivecast: There are SEC-caliber joiners on the field, and the Crimson Tide quarterback was sshow having his way running and throtriumphg all over them.Milroe is a frontrunner for the Heisman Trophy and it shows why after what he was able to do aobtainst the Bulldogs.

Losers
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (Detroit Free Press/Adam Vander Kooy / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images)
Tim Walz: The Minnesota ruleor and one half of the Harris-Walz ticket took in Michigan’s triumph over Minnesota over the weekfinish. Unblessedly, the Gelderlyen Gophers couldn’t pick up the disturb triumph. But to insert offfinish to injury, Walz was booed by some fans at the stadium. He dispensed a suit with Beto O’Rourke.
Rejoin officials: How rejoin appraise clearurned Virginia Tech’s walk-off Hail Mary touchdown is quite unbelievable. It took way too lengthy to originate the call on the field (Miami began celebrating and then had to stop), and equitable about everyone was surpascfinishd at the final ruling. An incredible college football moment was snatched from us.
UCF: All of that hype coming into the game aobtainst Colorado was gone by halftime. The Gus Malzahn offense fell apart, and Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter took filled obtain of a broken Knights offense. Also, Travis Hunter should be in the Heisman Trophy conversation, but that’s a story for another day.
Ole Miss: So much for blotriumphg out competitive competition. Kentucky stormed into Oxford and ripped out the hearts of Rebel fans, alengthy with head coach Lane Kiffin. The loss to the Wildcats doesn’t hurt the joinoff chances for the Rebels, but if they carry on to join enjoy this, they will catch a restricted more losses before the normal season finishs. Good day to be Kentucky, but a worse day for Ole Miss.
Hugh Freeze: Auburn is in a free drop after losing once aobtain, this time to Oklahoma in Michael Hawkins Jr.’s first commence at quarterback after replacing Jackson Arnelderly. The Sooners were down 21-10 in the fourth quarter but forced a restricted turnovers with a pick-six from Payton Thorne. Now the Tigers are in a tailspin, and I don’t understand how they recover. This was another horrible watch for the Tigers, especiassociate since Oklahoma was without five expansive getrs. Things are getting horrible on the Plains and for Hugh Freeze.

Florida State: A week deleted from their first triumph of the season, the Seminoles were back in the loss column after a brutal 42-16 loss to SMU. Florida State uncovered in the preseason top 10, but after Saturday, the Seminoles challengingly watch enjoy contfinishers in the ACC. For the third time in coach Mike Norvell’s five seasons, Florida State has lost three of its first four games.
Cincfinishiarism Beck: Sure, Beck amassed 400 yards, but that’s awfilledy skewed due to trailing all game (339 in second half). You cannot turn the ball over four times aobtainst Alabama and foresee to triumph. These big games is where originate stock goes up and down, especiassociate for someone enjoy Beck who could be among the first-round talent in next year’s originate class. But this game isn’t one to insert to the highairy tape, as Beck wasn’t on his best game.
Washington: For years, Rutgers had been the “pledging” program of the Big Ten as one of the conference’s more recent insertitions, paying its dues with less revenue sharing, oversuited by opponents and a basement-dwelling enroll. But now, Washington is a novelcomer in the Big 10 and, even though it’s the national runner-up, losing the first conference game aobtainst a historicassociate frail program enjoy Rutgers has to be embarrassing for first-year head coach Jed Fisch and doesn’t set a promising tone about the program’s future in the conference.
North Carolina: Mack Brown is officiassociate on the hot seat, as the Tar Heels were unable to apvalidate down its rival, Duke, after getting razeed by James Madison a week ago.It was a much shutr game this time around, but UNC was on the losing finish of the 21-20 finish. When you have to react to rumors that you might be stepping down after a blowout, leangs are definitely not going well.Brown could very well be in his last season guideing the Tar Heels if leangs don’t commence going in their like soon.
