Loser: North Carolina (Unranked)

After a record setting day that saw the Tar Heels move to 6-2, the voters decided to still keep the Tar Heels on the outside of the Top 25. Sam Howell was tremendous in a record-setting performance and North Carolina was able to outlast Wake Forest in what was one of the most entertaining games on Saturday.

North Carolina will have a huge opportunity for some wins with games against Miami and Notre Dame ahead.

Loser: Florida (Stayed at No. 6)

Florida football seems to be peaking at just the right time and that should be scary for the rest of the country. Florida has an argument that they should be ranked higher due to how they are currently playing, but that loss to Texas A&M is still hanging over them.

The Gators are still playing their best football however and they will have an opportunity to make the playoff with a win over Alabama in the SEC Championship.
