Upsets shake up SCF Poll
For Immediate Release
In what was suppose to be a calm weekend before Oct. 5's "Showdown Saturday" ended with seven ranked Southern College Football Poll teams going down. Oklahoma, Florida, West Virginia and Texas, all ranked in the top 10, each took their first loss of the season.
Oklahoma and Texas were expected to bring unblemished records into Saturday's Red River Shootout, but no one advised Colorado or Kansas State. The Sooners squandered a 14-point fourth quarter lead as the Buffaloes, which finished 2-10 last season, improved to 3-2 going into this weekend's game with Baylor. Kansas State gave Texas it's worst Big 12 home loss since 1994 (34-10 loss to Texas A&M).
Florida, after trailing at halftime to Auburn 14-0, saw it's comeback fall just short when the Tiger's kicked a game-winning field goal as time expired. South Florida, who beat Auburn in week 2, went from unranked to No. 6 as the Bulls defeated West Virginia for the second straight year. The Mountaineers dropped nine spots to No. 14.
LSU and USC remained at the top of the poll, followed by Cal, Ohio State and Wisconsin. South Florida, Boston College, Kentucky, Florida and Oklahoma round out the top 10.
Georgia, at No. 11, remained one spot ahead of South Carolina though the Gamecocks defeated the Bulldogs in Athens on Sept. 8. Oregon, which lost to Cal 31-24 on Saturday, dropped two spots to No. 13, followed by West Virginia. Newcomers Hawai'i and Arizona State complete the top 16.
In addition to the Red River Rivalry, No. 1 LSU hosts No. 9 Florida; No. 4 Ohio State is at undefeated Purdue; No. 8 Kentucky travels to No. 12 South Carolina; and No. 11 Georgia plays at SEC East rival Tennessee.
