Winner: Boise State (Unranked to No. 24)

Boise State found its way into the Top 25 after taking down Florida State, a win that very few people expected. Willie Taggart found himself even more on the hot seat after this loss and Boise State found that they have the ability to play spoiler this year as the shocker from the Group of Five.

The schedule is overall favorable for the Broncos going forward, so it could get exciting in Idaho.

Loser: Florida (No. 8 down to No. 11)

The Gators won their game, but man was it ugly. Florida fell from No. 8 to outside the top 10 at No. 11. The fall isn’t obnoxious, but it isn’t what they wanted — what team wants to drop outside the top 10 after a win over a Power Five rival?

The Gators were inconsistent at best and honestly looked like they wanted to lose this game at times. Quarterback Felipe Franks did not show up as the leader he needed to be as he threw for two touchdowns and two interceptions. His defense almost gave away this game multiple times in a performance that will not pass in the SEC East.
