With playoff implications plentiful, here's a look around the college football landscape as the contenders start separating themselves from the pretenders.
3. Colorado went from No. 19 to out of the poll after getting obliterated by an Oregon squad that, based on Ducks head coach Dan Lanning's pregame speech at Autzen Stadium, was frustrated by the attention garnered by the Buffaloes.
Lanning's bold statements add personality to the sport similar to Day talking trash in response to Holtz. Life doesn't get easier for Colorado with No. 8 USC and Heisman Trophy winner Caleb Williams coming to Boulder this week. 6. The Pac-12 is the most enjoyable conference to watch through the first four weeks of the season. Washington State has two wins against Top 25 opponents, including Saturday's win over Oregon State. USC, Oregon, Washington, Utah and the Cougars all have legitimate chances to win the conference in its last season.
It would've been a cool story if Weitz hit a game-winner. Instead, FSU remains in the top 5. The Tigers are unranked with fans wondering if Swinney's reluctance to embrace the transfer portal is holding the program back. 11. Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin had an opportunity to bury his mentor Nick Saban's chances of leading Alabama to a national championship this season. Instead Alabama downed Ole Miss, keeping themselves in the mix for a potential playoff spot.
