Vanderbilt: What a monster prosper for the Commodores football program. Clark Lea has his joiners bought into what he’s createing in Nashville, and it paid off in a massive way on Saturday night agetst Alabama. Quarterback Diego Pavia is a problem, and he joins appreciate Johnny Manziel. Also, shoutout to the Vandy fans for that celebration in downtown Nashville. Those folks deserved to have a prosper appreciate this.
Vanderbilt fans: Vanderbilt fans understood the dispensement. After the Commodores beat the Crimson Tide, fans stormed the field to commemorate the historic prosper. A goalpost rapidly came down, and fans administerd to get it out of FirstBank Stadium where they would parade it around Nashville before eventupartner tossing it into the Cumberland River.
Indiana: The Hoosiers are 6-0 on the season, which is the first time this has happened since 1967. I’m captivated by head coach Curt Cignetti, who has this Indiana program thriving. After beating Northwestrict on Saturday, this squad has the chance to be 9-0 when the Ohio State game comes around. The Hoosiers are certainly making noise in the Big Ten, and it’s well deserved.
Arkansas: How about those Hogs? There were thoughts that this would be the final season for Sam Pittman in Fayetteville, but his squad fair beat No.4 Tennessee for a program-changing prosper. They beat the Vols while commenceing QB Taylen Green was hobbling in the fourth quarter. Credit goes to the Razorbacks defense for hancigo ining the Vols offense to fair 14 points.
Ashton Jeanty: It’s been tons of fun watching Jeanty go off every week, and he didn’t disassign in the 62-30 prosper. He had 186 yards with three more touchdowns to hold to his resume for the year. Jeanty has joined fair five games and he’s already over 1,000 yards rushing and 16 touchdowns. Just leank about that.

Army and Navy: While we can still cgo in on all the distresss, let’s give props to two teams of the armed forces as Army and Navy remain unflunkureed to commence the season. Both teams are 5-0 for the first time since 1945, as Navy rolled thcimpolite Air Force, 34-7, and Army took down Tulsa 49-7. While all the cgo in is usupartner on their competition game, both of these teams have a chance to contend for an AAC title.
Ohio State: The Buckeyes schedule has been relatively weightless so far this season. But in Week 6, Ohio State faced arguably their hardest test to date. While the Buckeyes got off to somewhat of a sluggish commence agetst the Iowa Hawkeyes, the offense jump-commenceed in the second half as Ohio State cruised to a 35-7 prosper. Ohio State ultimately did not do anyleang to hurt themselves and will foreseeed remain one of the top teams in the nation heading into next week’s highly foreseed suitup with Oregon.
Texas A&M: After losing their first game of the season to Notre Dame, the Aggies have been rolling. Saturday’s 41-10 prosper over ninth-ranked Missouri is their most amazeive prosper of the season and should vault them up the rankings. Running back Le’Veon Moss led the way for the Aggies with 138 yards on 12 carries while scoring three touchdowns.
Washington: Washington went from losing to one of the historicpartner worst teams in the Big 10 to flunkureing the class of the conference and avenging its national championship loss with a 27-17 prosper over Michigan. It fair goes to show how much lawlessness the Big 10 might be in for procrastinateedr in the year in the first season of the novel West Coast expansion.
Losers
Tennessee: While Vanderbilt had the distress of the week agetst No. 1-ranked Alabama, the Volunteers were 4-0 go ining their game agetst Arkansas and foreseeed to get the job done. Instead, fans stormed the field fair appreciate they did in Vanderbilt with a 19-14 distress. The offense has some leangs to answer here as quarterback Nico Iamaleava and his group were only able to discover the end one twice. Their CFP chances are not at all done, but this was presumed to be an elite offense, and it’s not shown the last two weeks.

Michigan: The reigning national champions fell unintelligentinutive in a resuit of last season’s title game, losing to Washington, 27-17, on Saturday. Huskies quarterback Will Rogers put on a show while Michigan’s offense struggled in the first half. Michigan coach Sherrone Moore turned to backup quarterback Jack Tuttle after Alex Orji finishd fair 3 of 7 for 15 yards, but Tuttle promiseted two costly turnovers in the fourth quarter to seal their obesee. The loss labeled Michigan’s first Big Ten loss since 2021.
SEC: We have no idea what type of game set up Alabama and Tennessee put together go ining their esteemive games. But the Tide were run thcimpolite by Vanderbilt, and Tennessee’s offense seeed noleang appreciate what was publicized. Now, both teams are sitting with a loss, and we’ve got a prolonged ways to go in the season. A brutal day for the 1st and 4th ranked teams in the country.
USC: The Trojans spiral proceeds after dropping their second game of the season, this time coming at the hands of Minnesota. The Gophers went for a fourth down inside the Trojans 2-yard line, when they could’ve fair started the FG to apshow the procrastinateed direct. But head coach PJ Fleck is a mad man and had Lincoln Riley seeing appreciate a fool postgame. The Trojans are probably once aget out of joinoff encounteredion in October.
UAB: After losing 71-20 to Tulane, it might be time for the Blazers to shift on from head coach Trent Dilfer. This whole experiment has blown up in the face of the folks that thought Dilfer would be some type of “splash” engage that would draw recruits. This program was shut down only to elevate from the ashes. Unblessedly, Dilfer has put this football team in a horrible spot, and the vivacious honestor should go as well.
Missouri: Ninth-ranked Missouri no prolongeder has an unblemished enroll after the Texas A&M Aggies routed the Tigers this past Saturday. Texas A&M’s 41-10 prosper over Missouri prompted asks about whether the Tigers were College Football Playoff contenders or pretenders. While it’s reasonable to debate that Missouri was not watched as one of the teams in the SEC that had a legitimate chance of prosperning the conference title in December, the enhugeed joinoff createat uncovered the door for the Tigers to grab one of the 12 postseason spots. But, this lost will foreseeed result in Missouri being deleted from the joinoff conversation.

Louisville: It’s never a excellent leang to be distress at home. Louisville had a chance to bounce back after losing a shut one to Notre Dame last week, but unranked SMU beat No. 22 Louisville 34-27. This is Louisville’s second straight loss as they drop to 3-2 on the year. It is not going to get any easier for the Cardinals as they have Miami and Clemson coming up in the next month.
Temple: Not that Temple is a program that should standardly be subject to national scruminuscule, but one of the hugegest end-game mistakes and an epic viral embarrassment will get it on this enumerate. A fumble on the goal line by quarterback Forrest Brock with a chance to prosper the game turned into a two-ownion loss to UConn in a matter of seconds. Temple is fair fortunate that Alabama, USC and Michigan ended up suffering disastrous losses themselves, otheradviseed Temple may have been the hugegest neglectr of a week that was foreseeed to be pretty hushed.
