Ohio St. moves into #1 Ranking; LSU and Cal Fall from the Unbeaten
in another Top 16 Shakeup

Team of the Week - Kentucky

The college football rankings turned upside down for the third week in a row with several huge upsets that effected the top 5 positions. The top two ranked clubs, LSU and Cal lost to conference rivals and fell out of the top positions as a result. LSU lost a thriller with SEC rival Kentucky in triple overtime. Kentucky joined the top 16 clubs off the victory and earned another Team of the Week award as a result. Cal lost a close contest vs Oregon St. in probably the wildest finish of the season where they came up short with poor clock management. As a result, Ohio St moves into the top spot off another impressive victory, this time over Kent St. Two other undefeated clubs, South Florida and Boston College continue to move up the rankings as several highly ranked clubs fall weekly over recent weeks.
