This was a slow weekend.
The top nine teams all walked away with victories, with only one team having a hard time. Arkansas had to fight back from a two-possession deficit with 21 points in the fourth quarter to defeat Missouri State in Bobby Petrino’s return to Fayetteville.
The SEC is represented by six teams, Georgia and Alabama sitting at the top. However, once you get to the bottom half of the 15, it’s a log jam of SEC schools.
Miami and Michigan State suffered losses, resulting in them falling out of the 15. However, the Hurricanes’ 17-9 loss to Texas A&M on the road didn’t make them fall hard, and if that is their only loss of the season, they’ll be back inside the top ten.
Michigan State outscored Washington 20-10 in the second half after trailing, 29-8 at halftime, but could not overcome such a large first-half deficit.
The Hurricanes and Spartans’ tough road losses allowed new teams to jump in at the bottom of the 15. So let’s see who has jumped into the 15.
