Another wild and crazy weekend of college football is in the books and, once again, we have a new team sitting on top of the AP Poll. The Oregon Ducks ride their undefeated record into the top spot in the country for the first time since 2012. The Big Ten now owns three of the top four spots in the poll.

Georgia went into Austin and beat the No. 1 Longhorns on Saturday to make their claim to the top spot in the SEC. But that is far from a foregone conclusion, with Tennessee and LSU not going anywhere.
