Week 11 in college football saw some big upsets, leading to shifts in the top 10 rankings. Teams like Oregon and Georgia slipped, making way for others to climb. Texas jumped to No. 3, while Indiana moved up to No. 4 after both showed strong performances. Alabama re-entered the top 10 at No. 9 following a win over LSU. Even Georgia Tech saw a significant jump, moving up 14 spots to No. 37 after defeating Miami. This week's losses reminded everyone that anything can happen in college football.
Meanwhile, LSU and Miami took big hits in the rankings. LSU fell nine spots to No. 25 after losing to Ole Miss, while Miami dropped eight spots to No. 12 following a surprising loss to Georgia Tech. Tennessee also made a move, jumping a few spots to No. 7 behind undefeated BYU. Smaller schools like James Madison and Kansas also had notable climbs.
Rankings can be unpredictable. This week proved that one loss can dramatically change a team's position. It's not just about winning; it's also about who you beat and how you lose.
