This group of teams came away with some huge blowout wins, especially the Louisville Cardinals who blew out Charlotte in their 70-14 victory.

Teams like Georgia and Iowa were probably hoping to climb a little bit higher with teams ahead of them falling,  but UCLA is the only team that they’ll likely move ahead of in this week’s rankings. For schools like Baylor and Oklahoma State, they’re just glad to crack the top 20.

Speaking of Georgia, running back Nick Chubb looks like an early Heisman Trophy favorite. No one was sure what Chubb would look like returning from a gruesome leg injury from last season, but the Bulldogs running back went off for 222 yards and two touchdowns to start the season off on the right foot.

With Chubb in the backfield and true freshman Jacob Eason under center, Bulldogs fans are starting to believe that this team has a chance at making a run in the SEC.

Next: Teams 15-11
