Salt Lake Tribune coverage of the Utah Utes and the Pac-12.
A messy Saturday seemed like a perfect time for a major shakeup in the rankings, but it didn’t play out that way.
The Oklahoma defense stands up Texas running back Jonathon Brooks on a key goal line stand during the second half of an NCAA college football game at the Cotton Bowl, Saturday, Oct. 7, 2023, in Dallas. Oklahoma won 34-30. Seven ranked teams lost Saturday, including six that were unbeaten. Seems like a perfect time for a major shakeup in the rankings, but it didn’t play out that way.
No. 1 Georgia and No. 2 Michigan held their spots — again. The Bulldogs and Wolverines have held steady since the preseason. No. 3 Ohio State and No. 4 Florida State each moved up a spot and Oklahoma climbed to No. 5.Only two teams fell out of the rankings: Missouri and Fresno State. The two moving in were No. 18 UCLA and No. 23 Kansas, both previously ranked, each with a loss to another ranked team.
Now, that doesn’t excuse the patience some voters showed this week with No. 25 Miami, which managed to stay ranked after an all-time blown game against Georgia Tech. But Reality Check understands sticking with teams that lose to other ranked, even if it makes the Top 25 a little boring.With a new quarterback there was some thought Georgia might revert back to a more run-heavy style. Nope. The Bulldogs are pass-first with QB Carson Beck, who has three straight 300-yard passing games.Is there a downside to all these blowouts? Do the Wolverines need to be tested? Guess we’ll find out in about a month.
