After Utah lost to UCLA and Oklahoma State held on to beat Texas Tech, here is what the college football rankings could look like.
Week 6 of the college football season is not even halfway done, and there is already some movement in the AP Top 25 rankings.
There has already been one upset on the day, and it is the No. 11 Utah Utes falling to the No. 18 UCLA Bruins. Even though Utah did trail to UCLA for the majority of the game, they did manage to cut their deficit to 28-25 in the fourth quarter. However, the Bruins were able to pull away for the 42-32 victory.
There was a scare for the Oklahoma State Cowboys, as they actually trailed the Texas Tech Red Raiders 31-23 in the third quarter. The Cowboys were able to avoid an upset (unlike Utah), as they picked up the 41-31 win.
